I also suggest you try Silene uniflora Robin White Breast some time
which looks like a tiny white carnation and smells delicious.


A neighbour has just planted a plant which from leaf shape and colour,
flower colour and basic petal shape looks like a very double flowered
ragged robin. Is there a garden variety of Silene or Lychnis that would
fit this description?



Kay, I dug a cutting of a very double Lychnis out of the gravel and the
nursery in Berkhamsted. The owner said it was a spare seedling from
lyhcnis he had.
Was taller than most and the flowers are very pretty (gone over now)
