    I am a complete beginner when it comes to gardening. I bought my first house and I am just learning the names of plants. I would like to put this flower in my garden. If someone could help me with this that would be appreciated.

    Thank you so much for the speedy answer. I can now happily inquire about Lychnis coronaria at the nursery. I'm really looking forward to this at the nursery.

    The person who posted this will already know that both Phlox and Lychnis Coronaria aka Rose Campion will easily re-seed themselves.
    Rose Campion (Lychnis) do take two years to bloom. So the reseeded plants won't bloom on their first year. You will recognize them by the silvery green, fuzzy leaves - so don't pull them out - mistaking them for weeds.
    Lychnis also comes in white.
