1 well-established plant in a 9cm pot, sent in plastic-free packaging. A cultivated strain of Bladder Campion, prized for its superior flavour and tender succulent growth.

Perennial | 30/60cm tall | Full sun to partial shade | Tasty edible Stems, leaves, and flowers | Resilient and loved by pollinators 

 tridolo is the cultivated cousin of the wild Bladder Campion (Silene vulgaris). It’s a short-lived perennial vegetable that self-seeds readily. While it shares the same hardy, resilient nature as its wild relative, this specific culinary strain has been carefully selected over generations for the kitchen garden. It forms low, mounding clumps of slender, blue-green foliage that shoots up a cloud of charming, balloon-like pinkish white edible flowers in midsummer. Unlike the wild variety, which can become tough, bitter or have a slightly waxy coating to protect itself from the harsh environment it is found in, this cultivated selection stays tender and sweet for much longer, offering a unique flavour profile reminiscent of young garden pea shoots and a leafy green such as spinach and a light, crunchy, fresh texture.

Even if you didn’t eat this plant its would make a beautiful addition to your garden. The flowers are rich in nectar, making them a magnet for pollinators, and it’s ability to grow in all conditions makes it suitable for most gardens. Although its a short-lived perennial, it self-seeds well, and once planted, you can have it in your garden year after year. If not wanted, the small seedlings are easily weeded out.
