Ragged Robin 'Petite Jenny'
Lychnis flos-cuculi ‘Petite Jenny’ (Ragged Robin) is a compact, tufted perennial with exquisite clusters of double, soft lavender-pink flowers borne on upright, slender, leafy stems. The fluffy blooms rise with airiness above the foliage of oblong, dark green leaves. Blooming over an exceptionally long season from late spring to fall, this double-flowered little beauty is an offspring of the popular Lychnis ‘Jenny’ introduced by Blooms of Bressingham. It enjoys a longer blooming period because its flowers are sterile.
