This native perennial is found on a wide range of well drained soils, usually on sites that have been subject to a degree of disturbance like rough pasture, roadside verges, waste land and the edge of arable fields. The flowers are open all day but their clove-like scent is only emitted in the evening attracting long tongued moths. The striking black and red froghopper (Cercopis vulnerata) can often be found on Bladder campion.
We sell Bladder Campion (Silene vulgaris) seeds per gram; customers should be aware that when ordering more than one gram of Bladder Campion, the entire amount will be bagged together to reduce unnecessary packaging.
