Lychnis coronaria is generally referred to as rose campion or mullein pinks. Dusty miller is - at least on this side of the Atlantic - applied to several annuals and perennials grown for their silver foliage.
Does the one you have for trade bear magenta flowers about 3 cm across?
Good luck with your trading.
Hi Janet, you are right it is known as rose campion, but I,ve always heard it referred to here as dusty miller, perhaps that,s just a regional name. It can get confusing, like black eyed susie, I know that as the climber thunbergia, wher as I,ve seen other people use it for different flowers.Guess that,s why they argue for using latin names, so we all know what,s what.

Here in the UK Lychnis coronaria's main common name is Dusty Miller.
Janet thanks for pointing out the difference. This is where all the confusions come in over common names.
Well done for using both botanical and common name it makes it so much easier to clear up.
I'm interested in your Polemonium and Pseudoarmeria. I'll email an exchange list if you are interested
:)
