Is anyone familiar with the perennial - Silene? Have 2 Silene plants that bloomed for the first time this year - and how lovely they were as the blooming climbed up the stalk. Now the last flower is blooming and do I cut them back when it is finished? Will they possibley bloom again?

Here is a bit of general info for you. Do you know which Silene you have?

Thank you for the websites - I will look them up. The name of the silene is Rolly's Favorite. Don't recall the species.

Yup, deadheading will keep it blooming.
