Bladder campion
Silene vulgaris
Bladder campion is an extremely hardy perennial that thrives in poor soils and requires minimal care once established. It tolerates drought well and actually prefers lean, well-draining soil over rich conditions. This wildflower self-seeds readily and produces white inflated flowers that are both ornamental and edible.
