Mythology reports that the Rose campion sprang from the bath of Aphrodite. Rose campion has been in European garden cultivation since the 1300’s. Parkinson in 1629 wrote of the Rose campion: “The single red Rose campion hath divers thick, hoary or woolly long greene leaves, abiding greene all the winter, and in the end of the spring or beginning of summer, shooteth forth two or three hard round woolly stalkes, with some joints thereon, and as every joint two such like hoary greene leaves as those below, but smaller, diversly branched at the toppe, having one flower upon each severall long stalke … of a perfect red crimson colour …” Paradisi in Sole Paradisus Terrestris. Both George Washington and Thomas Jefferson grew this plant. (Jefferson in 1807.)
