Silene vulgaris ‘ Blushing Lanterns’
A wonderful find from Floret which proved to be a versatile filler for bouquet work this year. This native wildflower has delicate grey-green stems which are topped with pale green balloon-like pods with a flush of blush. As the pods mature they are ringed with snow white petals. They are extremely productive flowering from June through till September if you keep up the picking. Definitely one for wedding work.
