Plant of the Week
Rose Campion
Latin: Corylopsis platypetala
Rose Campion is a low growing wildflower that flourishes at the top of mountains that challenges rock gardeners to grow it in their own gardens.

Many hollies are ideal, as are viburnums, aucubas (especially the narrow leaved forms), skimmias and such deciduous shrubs as corylopsis, fothergilla, summer-sweet (Clethra alnifolia) and disanthus.
