Silene ovata Pteris ceramic doll-eye like fruit replaceSilene ovata, also known as Blue Ridge catchfly, is one of the rarer of the US native catchflies, with a native range from southern Illinois south to Georgia. This is not a common species anywhere and we need your help to share this worldwide to ensure its survival. In the wild, Silene ovata is found in forests on rocky wooded slopes, but we've grown it since 2006 in half day sun, and found it amazingly easy, even in unattended parts of the garden
