Where the species is known for its vivid magenta blooms, Alba is the refined, ethereal white form — equally striking and wonderfully versatile. It weaves beautifully through other plants, softening bold colours and adding a luminous quality to the garden, especially in the evening light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Gardeners Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e⭐ \u003cstrong\u003eStunning silver foliage\u003c\/strong\u003e — intensely woolly, silver-grey stems and leaves that shine year-round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🤍 \u003cstrong\u003ePure white flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e — clean, bright blooms that glow in the garden and look magical at dusk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🐝 \u003cstrong\u003eExcellent pollinator plant\u003c\/strong\u003e — attracts bees and butterflies throughout summer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eEasy to grow\u003c\/strong\u003e — drought-tolerant once established, thrives with minimal attention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🏡 \u003cstrong\u003eCottage garden classic\u003c\/strong\u003e — self-seeds freely, naturalising beautifully through borders\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✨ \u003cstrong\u003eLuminous evening presence\u003c\/strong\u003e — the white flowers and silver foliage glow beautifully in low light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Tips for New Zealand\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow seeds in autumn or early spring directly into well-drained soil in a sunny position, or start in trays and transplant when small. Lychnis coronaria is wonderfully drought-tolerant once established, making it ideal for free-draining NZ garden beds. It is a short-lived perennial but self-seeds prolifically, so once you have it in the garden it will return reliably year after year. Deadhead to tidy, or leave spent flowers to encourage self-seeding. Thrives in full sun and poor to average soil — too rich a soil produces lush foliage at the expense of flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e30 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Rose Campion Alba (\u003cem\u003eLychnis coronaria\u003c\/em\u003e 'Alba'), with growing instructions included.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45051668103237,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/lychniswhite.jpg?v=1779761008","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/rose-campion-seeds-lychnis-coronaria-alba","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
