Orange Campion (Single) (Lychnis cognata) is a perennial wildflower admired for its striking, star-shaped blooms in vivid shades of orange, each with five slightly notched petals radiating from a small central eye. Sometimes known as orange lychnis or orange catchfly, it is native to East Asia, where it grows in meadows, open woodlands, and mountain slopes. Its slender, upright stems are lined with narrow green leaves, creating a graceful vertical element in natural plantings.

Blooming in summer, the single form showcases an unbranched display that emphasizes the purity and simplicity of its blossoms. The flowers are attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, contributing to ecological diversity in meadow landscapes. Historically valued for its ornamental charm, Orange Campion also appears in cottage gardens and wildflower borders for its vibrant color and easy integration with other species. This single form captures the unadorned elegance and natural vitality of the species.
