Need help ID'ing a flower please

17 years ago

There is a house on a road I occasionally use that has the most gorgeous perennial garden, so I'm assuming these are perennials. I'm sorry I don't have a pic, but the leaves and stems appear to be very light silvery gray, about 2 feet high, not bushy, with bright red button-type flowers sitting atop each stem. I'd say the flowers are maybe an inch across.

Any ideas?

Could it be rose companion?
Just a guess.
How tall was it?
Maybe someone else will know a few more to pick from.

I was kind of suspicious of that, Gldno, since not only are there clumps of rose campion in her garden but also along a lonnnng section of fence. I knew surely she didn't BUY all those plants, lol.
