Cliff willowherb
Epilobium collinum
Cliff willowherb is a delicate European alpine perennial that produces small pink flowers and suits rock gardens, slopes, or naturalistic plantings in cool temperate climates. It prefers well-drained, gritty or rocky soil and partial shade to full sun, mimicking its native cliff and hillside habitats. Minimal care is needed once established; simply remove spent flower stalks to prevent excessive self-seeding.
