Description
Chironia palustris is a very hardy, deciduous, erect grassland plant that has dainty bluish-green leaves and stems and forms clumps from a woody rootstock. It bears soft pink star-shaped flowers along the stems in early summer which look marvellous in amongst shorter grasses. It grows in a normally irrigated bed as well as marshy areas where it is spectacular interplanted with other smaller wetland species. Plant in full sun.
