 Lychnis viscaria Feuer at Digging Dog Nursery |
A relative of Dianthus, the genus name of this low maintenance, easy-to-grow perennial comes from the Greek word lychos, meaning “lamp,” and it is clearly an attempt to describe the light that comes from the splendid-for-cutting flower clusters that can brighten any garden space.
Narrow, almost grasslike, green and often evergreen leaves form neat rosettes, while sticky stems earn the strange common name of “Catchfly.” Tolerant of poor soil and dry conditions, Lychnis captures plenty of attention when placed front and center along a pathway, in a crevice or atop a wall.
Bearing profuse clusters of fiery red, five-petaled blooms, this Lychnis species is splendid indeed.

 Sunshine Farm and Gardens: Glick Pick Archives: Lychnis flos-cuculi nana (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab2.netlab.uky.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
I've always thought the species Lychnis flos-cuculi to be a "sloppy" plant....too tall for it's own good and without much garden merit.
Seemingly suffering from an identity crisis, the same plant is slowly making it's rounds under several different names ie: Lychnis flos-cuculi nana, mini, minimus, dwarf form etc etc. But they all seem to be the same plant, a tight little compact form of Lychnis flos-cuculi.
The straight species, Lychnis flos-cuculi is native to moist, open meadows in Europe, but has naturalized itself as an escapee from cultivation through much of New England and the Northeastern US.
