One of the (zillions of) Antennarias?

Lychnis coronaria aka Silene coronaria aka Rose Campion. You have dug it up just as it was about to flower. You can see that from the extended stems. Not sure if it will survive that treatment but if you water well and cross your fingers it might make it. It is a biennial or short-lived perennial.

oh, I love rose campion! Its still in a big rootball barely disturbed at least. I'll plop it in somewhere and hope for the best.

Fingers crossed for you and the plant;-)

Just a thought-next time, ask first, then dig!

Does it bloom its 2nd year? I had this last year and it had no blooms. Ill put it in a sunnier spot and it might be happier :)

Yes - it's a biennial. It is about to bloom right now so it was already perfectly happy.You can tell because the stems elongate. I just hope it survives being dug up at an inauspicious moment.

I love rose campion! good luck with yours! Ours come back and bloom every single year ( we have them everywhere)
