I planted this evergreen ground cover exactly 21 years ago, on 22 October 2000. I kept the dated nametag, which is how I know. It flowers prolifically every spring and summer and always looks good. I cut it back when it starts to encroach on the patio, but otherwise it gets no attention.
It’s botanical name is Silene Maritima Rosea, also known as Sea Campion, and is a common sight on the seacoasts of Western Europe. Campions are rich in pollen and attractive to butterflies.
This perennial Campion
is an undoubted champion
I do love plants that flower prolifically with little attention 😊 I have calendulas at my place, and they flower all year round, although better in the warmer weather of course, and look bright and attractive with almost no input from me to help them along.

I have calendulas too. Being yellow and orange they don’t really fit with my pink and purple colour scheme, but I can’t bear to deter volunteers.
