Sea Campion Silene

Sea Campion (Silene uniflora) is a charming and durable alpine perennial that brings a touch of the rugged coastline to your garden. This low-growing plant forms a dense, spreading cushion of attractive blue-green, slightly succulent foliage. In late spring and summer, it is topped with unique, balloon-like white flowers—each delicate bloom features a distinctive inflated, veined calyx that gives the plant a whimsical, airy appearance.

As a tough-as-nails member of the Silene genus, Sea Campion is a specialist for rock gardens, stone walls, and gravel paths. It is exceptionally wind and salt-tolerant, making it a premier choice for coastal landscapes. Its mat-forming habit is perfect for suppressing weeds and softening the edges of sunny borders. Why you’ll love it: Whimsical "balloon" white flowers, beautiful glaucous foliage, and a rugged, low-maintenance nature that thrives in poor, rocky soils.

This healthy 4" live plant excels in full sun and requires sharp drainage to remain vigorous and healthy.
