I Wonder if Anyone Could Help Me...
Hello, I'm new to this forum, so please forgive me if I am going about this the wrong way,,,,,,,
I Am trying to identify a plant that I saw on a television program this evening.....
It is about 2 ft tall, has rather spindly silver/grey/green stem and foliage, and littledark pinky red flowers. I used to have some in my garden in England, but never did know the name of them. Does my description ring a bell with anyone?
Would be very appreciative of any information given.
Thank You

I've got some in my garden but I can't remember what it's called! Sorry
A quick google suggests Lychnis Coronaria. What do you think?
Bougie, which tv programme was it? Maybe we noticed it too - or we could look again on iplayer or whatever and see if we can spot it.
Or, was it a French tv programme?
I must say, it does sound quite like Verdun's suggestion of the Lychnis

Bougie, was it on the prog about Great Dixter? I saw some just like it on there
Thank you all so much,,,,, sorry I didn't get back to you all sooner, but I have been tucked up in bed with hot water bottles, Lemsip (or my own version nd decongestant!! Just surfaced for a little while before going back.
I didn't see the beginning of the program so not sure what it was called, but it was about a beautiful old house near Leicester, and the man who designed the gardens if that is any help? Sorry but not been very alert over the last few days.
I will go away now and follow the link Dovefromabove has given me and come back to you all a little later on.
Once again, many thanks to you all.
4th Panda ... Yes, that was the program, thank you.......
Yippee .... yes that was it, Lychnis coronaria!!! Now I just have to try and find some seeds over here, although I expect I will have to send to the UK for some!
