The Bladder campion is a carnation plant with many subspecies, often found as a precursor to other plants.
In the kitchen you can use the young leaves, which taste sweet, in summer salads. Fresh roots or leaves can be used in a soup, also as a vegetable or as fresh pressed juice.
A decoction of several roots produces a mild washing solution for sensitive materials.
Dried Bladder campion root can be used as a smoking agent.
