We love the seeds of this plant, so easy to collect and sow. We haven't got this plant in our current garden, but have grown it over the years and it's great. Thanks for sharing your tips 😁💛
Thank you for giving me something to listen to while I am doing my House chores. Motivation at its finest 😊 edit: we have the same “boot tray”! what a smart use of it. I need to find a new place to put my shoes so I can use mine to catch my potting soil. 😂
Those boot trays are in our greenhouse, too. We keep all of the seedlings (potted) on them to catch water. Good luck with finding a new place to hold the shoes ;) hahaha
@@perennial-garden I use the “double cup method” when I sow my tomatoes and peppers and they awkwardly fit in a normal 72 cell under tray. I wonder if the boot tray would be a better way to move them in and out of the grow room for watering?! Thanks for the idea!
I absolutely loooooooooooooove all Campions, especially the wild ones. They can self seed as much as they want in my garden! Might even go harvest some seeds soon if they're ready . . . your video inspired me ^^
@@perennial-garden So far, I've been able to harvest some sweet pea and borage seeds. I'm in the Black Forest/Switzerland so it sounds like you are a little bit ahead of us maybe? I actually looked for some wild campion seeds after I saw your video, during my walk, but they were not ready yet. Have to wait! ^^
@@perennial-garden I was thinking about it. You are more north, but we are probably higher altitude. Plus you have the walled garden micro-climate and the seashore climate, whereas we are up in the mountains. We also had the coldest, rainiest May and June in history.
I grow silene regia (Royal Catchfly) in my Zone 5 a/b, woodland garden, Ontario, Canada. I have had it for years and allow it to self sow. I move the young seedlings in the spring, before they become established, throughout the garden. It is scarlet in colour and stands out like our native red lobelia cardinalis (Cardinal Flower.) They are both hummingbird magnets. Highly recommend both. Love your channel. I am a very very early follower of your channel. 💚💖💚
So glad you’re here! 💚 We move ours around in the early spring, too - potting them on for plant markets and sharing with friends. Hummingbird magnets?! That’s great to know - Altho we don’t have those here 😅. But still wonderful to know.
I don't have this in my garden but remember it in the hedgerows when I was a little girl. I'll have to get some seeds from my brother as I'm sure that he has it at his place. Isn't amazing how many seeds come from one pod? It's a very pretty flower.
So incredible that each pod is packed with seeds. God’s Creation is incredible. 🥰 If you do add it your garden, you’ll enjoy early spring color 💚 exactly when we need it most.
I am planning to sow Silene vulgaris to then plant in my little garden patch.. I hope it'll work the same! I think I will put the pot out on my windowsill since I don't have a greenhouse.
@@perennial-garden I hope so! I got some seeds from around here before they were mowed (such pretty big clumps.. so sad..) so they are definitely suited to the climate, now to hope they like the place I am planning for them. It has plenty of sun so I hope so, but you never know..
@@perennial-garden well, it's just things you notice when you are interested in plants. For example, there are plenty of blackberry bushes growing wild,yet people just walk by them. We are allowed to pick here in the UK. It's not for cheapness...why let the birds have it all🙃🥴
@@77sun222 They do that here, too! That's where we get our blackberries (and freeze them) for the rest of the year. You're so right... the birds can get what's left after us. hahaha ((there are plenty, in all seriousness))
We know that feeling. But yeah... this one isn't one of their favorites. Not as stunning as dahlias... but very cute little pink flowers in early spring :)

It's so easy to grow, right? And grows wild here in Denmark -- so everyone wants it in their gardens.
@@perennial-garden Wow, it must be lovely seeing it in the wild growing untamed 😁
Thank you, gentlemen. Much love from North Carolina.
Thanks so much, Paula 💚💚
Beautiful looking pollinator plant and great video on collecting seed and growing on to new plants.
This one is a Danish favorite! You see it everywhere around here :)

Hello to India 💚💚
Thanks guys! Sending love from Southwest Alabama
Hej to Alabama 🥰. Big hello back from Denmark 🇩🇰
Thanks for the video. I do not grow this plant. I will have to see if I can get some seed.
If you come by, we'll give you all you want. haha :)
That's great addition to my garden, Thank you
You'll love it! Very cute pink flowers in early spring... and a great self seeder, too :)
beautiful plants, nice greenhouse ❤
Thank you so much for watching! Hope you have a great weekend 💚

Our red campions are ready... the bladder campion isn't yet... but so many of the early flowering things are! our mt.cornflower, sticky catchfly, etc!

@@brocktoon8 We must be ahead a bit -- altho the warm warm May we had put us ahead of where we usually are this time of year, too.

@@brocktoon8 What is up with the weather this year?!
Thank you so much 💕. I’m putting it on my list
Hope you like it!

Kinda like poppy seeds:). Thank you from Georgia, U.S.
They are! You'll get a bunch from every seed pod.
Hi
Great info. I must get some red campion. Are you familiar with corn cockle? I have seen some in the wiid. So off i go to collect seed👏👏👏
We have something similar here -- but not exactly that plant (although I'm going to check!) Good luck collecting seeds! So jealous :)

Omg a plant resistant to slugs?? Yes pls! It’s such a slug battle in my garden (my poor dahlias cling within an inch of their lives, literally!)😂
We know that feeling.
But yeah... this one isn't one of their favorites. Not as stunning as dahlias... but very cute little pink flowers in early spring :)
