Lychnis viscaria 'Feuer' is wonderful at the front of the border or in the rock garden. It looks great with other spring-blooming perennials like aquilegia , dracocephalum , aubrieta , Alyssum saxatile , and Iberis gibraltarica .
Start lychnis seeds indoors 8 weeks before the last frost date. Barely cover the seeds with soil. Full sun to part shade.
