Silene behen, commonly known as Behen Campion, is an annual herb native to the Mediterranean region, particularly thriving in open woodlands and rocky slopes. It typically grows to a height of 1.5 feet (0.45 meters) and has a self-supporting growth form with simple, broad leaves. The plant features delicate white or pale pink flowers that bloom in the late spring to early summer, adding a subtle charm to garden settings.

Behen Campion is appreciated for its ease of maintenance and the dainty flowers that attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. It is often used in wildflower gardens, as a border plant, or in rock gardens due to its preference for well-drained soils and tolerance of drought conditions once established. For optimal growth, it should be planted in full sun to part shade. While generally free from serious pests and diseases, it can be susceptible to root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly draining soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
