100 Seeds Nodding Catchfly Silene pendula Pink Flowering Annual

Nodding Catchfly (Silene pendula) is a charming annual known for its delicate, drooping pink blooms that create a soft, cascading effect in borders, rock gardens, and containers. Its nodding flower heads and compact, bushy habit make it a lovely choice for adding early-season color and texture to informal and cottage-style plantings.
This easy-to-grow annual works well as a front-of-border filler, in hanging baskets, or naturalized in meadow-style areas. The plants bloom profusely over a long window, and the flowers are attractive in cut arrangements. For best results, provide even moisture and avoid overly dry conditions during establishment.
