How to plant Silene seedsSibella Series
Sibella silene has a beautifully cascading habit, covering itself with a slew of lacy, ¾ in. flowers with 5 notched petals in spring and summer. Airy, mounded plants with shiny silver-green leaves grow 12 in. tall and trail to 24 in. wide. Stunning when cascading out of hanging baskets and other garden containers, Sibella silene also excels as a seasonal small-scale ground cover. Sibella silene flowers are self-cleaning; no deadheading needed. All Sibella silenes are Fleuroselect Approved Novelty Winners; Sibella Carmine won the Fleuroselect Gold Medal.
