Maltese Cross Seeds – Collected at Mount Vernon

Bring a bold burst of color to your summer garden with Maltese Cross (Lychnis chalcedonica), a striking perennial known for its vivid orange-red flowers. Blooming from June through July, these brilliant blooms provide a dramatic contrast to the softer pinks and purples of early summer borders. A favorite of pollinators, Maltese Cross thrives in full sun and adds height and vibrancy to flower beds and cottage gardens.

These seeds are carefully collected and harvested at Mount Vernon, offering gardeners a connection to the plants that flourish on George Washington’s historic estate. Also known as Burning Love, Jerusalem Cross, and Meadow Campion, this classic perennial reseeds readily but benefits from space to establish itself among other perennials.
