Felt Harvest on the Way?

My rose campion plants -- perennials added to the side border last season --
have come back strong and are expanding nicely so far this year.
I can hardly wait for the bright pink flowers to appear!

In the meantime the thick, fuzzy texture of the leaves has me wondering....

I have quite a large patch of rose campions also. I love them so much that I have a new patch started in another area.

I have Campion started from seed this year that is supposed to have white flowers. I love the color of the foliage... as it accents all the other greens.
