Fire Pink: A Fiery Burst of Color for Your Garden

Silene Virginica, commonly known as Fire Pink, is a stunning native wildflower that brings a burst of fiery red to any garden. This perennial plant grows up to 18-24 inches tall and features delicate, tubular flowers that bloom in vibrant shades of scarlet, resembling a flickering flame. The striking blossoms are perfect for adding dramatic color to borders, rock gardens, or wildflower meadows.

Fire Pink’s attractive flowers are not only beautiful but also attract pollinators such as hummingbirds and butterflies, making it a great choice for supporting local wildlife. The slender stems and lance-shaped leaves add texture and interest even when the plant is not in bloom, creating a year-round visual appeal.
