An attractive annual or tender perennial native to Europe, but has naturalized throughout the United States. The generous rosy pink flowers are arranged in compact clusters radiating from a slender stem. Thrives in full sun or partial shade in various soil types. Makes a breathtaking display when planted in mass.
Suggested Use: Floral gardens, roadsides, disturbed areas. Miscellaneous: The stem exudes a sticky sap that captures small insects that try to steal nectar without pollinating the flowers. Hence, the common name Catchfly.
