Fothergill's Nature's Helpers Ragged Robin Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Lychnis flos-cuculi, a traditional and hard-wearing hardy perennial that reliably flowers the year after sowing.
• Distinctive Pink Colourway: Features delicate, deeply segmented rose-pink petals that create a beautifully ragged, airy aesthetic in cottage gardens.
• Elegant Upright Profile: Grows to a stately height of 70cm, providing excellent mid-border structure, natural depth, and gentle movement in the breeze.
• Moisture-Loving Variety: Thrives exceptionally well in damp environments, making it a perfect solution for heavy clay, poorly drained soil, and wet meadow layouts.
• Shade-Tolerant Growth: Performs beautifully when positioned in partial shade, allowing you to establish successful colour in cooler, dappled areas of your outdoor spaces.
• Abundant Wildlife Support: Exceptionally attractive to a wide array of beneficial insects including butterflies, bumblebees, moths, and hoverflies, creating a thriving garden ecosystem.
• Ideal for Naturalising: Perfect for establishing low-maintenance wildlife corners, softening pond edges, or planting throughout damp grassy banks and bog gardens.

Care Instructions:

• Sow seeds indoors 0.5cm deep into a moist, free-draining seed compost mix, or sow directly outdoors into prepared soil.
• Water regularly to ensure the soil remains consistently moist, especially during dry spells while the young plants are establishing.
• Transplant or thin the emerging young seedlings to a final outdoor spacing of 25cm apart to allow plenty of room for mature, upright growth.
