Lychnis chalcedonica

Lychnis chalcedonica blooms in June with large clusters of vivid scarlet-red flowers. The flowers seem to glow in the garden like a neon restaurant sign that says, "Hummingbirds, eat here!"

Lychnis chalcedonica can be cut back when the flowers fade to encourage repeat blooming. Deer-resistant.
