- Size: Typically reaches 18–24 inches tall with a spread of 12–18 inches.
Planting Instructions
Planting Season
- Best planted in early spring or fall to allow for root establishment before extreme temperatures.
- Thrives in full sun, but can tolerate some light shade in hotter climates.
Planting Details
- Seed Depth: Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep.
- Spacing: Space plants 12–18 inches apart to allow for good air circulation.
- Soil Requirements: Prefers well-drained, slightly alkaline soil. Tolerates poor soil conditions, but benefits from fertile, loamy soil.
- Sunlight: Full sun for optimal flowering, although it can tolerate partial shade, especially in warmer regions.
Care Instructions
Watering
- Water regularly during dry spells, but ensure the soil drains well to avoid waterlogging.
- Once established, Rose Campion Angel's Blush is drought-tolerant and requires less frequent watering.
Fertilization
- Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring for optimal growth, but avoid over-fertilizing, as this can reduce flower production.
- An occasional application of compost or organic matter will support healthy growth.
Weeding and Mulching
- Keep the area around the plants free from weeds, which can compete for nutrients and water.
- Apply a light layer of mulch to keep the soil cool and retain moisture, but be sure not to mound it around the base of the plant.
Pest and Disease Control
- Generally pest and disease-resistant, but watch for aphids and powdery mildew.
- Good air circulation can prevent fungal issues, and using organic pest control like insecticidal soap can help manage aphids.
Pruning
- Deadheading spent flowers will encourage more blooms and keep the plant looking tidy.
- Cut back the plant after it has finished flowering to maintain a neat shape and prevent self-seeding if not desired.
Harvesting
- While primarily grown for its ornamental value, Rose Campion Angel's Blush can also be used for cut flower arrangements, with its long stems making it an ideal candidate.
- Cut stems early in the morning, just after the flowers have opened.
Storage
- If harvesting for cut flowers, place them in water immediately. For dried arrangements, hang the stems upside down in a cool, dry place.
- As a hardy perennial, it will return each year, giving you vibrant blooms for many seasons.
Culinary Uses
- While Rose Campion Angel's Blush is not typically grown for culinary purposes, its flowers are edible and can be used as a decorative garnish for salads or desserts.
- Its bright color can be added to herbal teas for an extra pop of color, though the flavor is mild.
