Lychnis flos-cuculi - Ragged Robin Pink (Seeds)

20 open pollinated seeds from our gardens.
 
It doesn't get any cuter than this - Ragged Robin (Lychnis Flos Cuculi).  Lychnis flos-cuculi is found growing naturally in damp places in Europe, Caucasus and Siberia. With an upright or spreading habit, ragged robin has blue-green, lance-shaped leaves at the base of the plant, becoming more rounded further up the stem. In summer loose, flat flower heads carry star-shaped flowers with deeply cut petals, which vary in colour from purple-pink to white.  Our seeds have been harvested from the pink variety.   However, we do have the white and seeds will be avalable in the future.
 
Lychnis flos-cuculi is an understated, hardy perennial perfect for growing in damp borders, around the edge of ponds and in wildlife gardens. Plant in boggy soil in full sun to partial shade.  Height 40cm. 
 
Seeds are sown in autumn into pots as the seeds are so small. Just sprinkle the seeds of the surface of the soil.   Gently water, keeping seeds damp but not wet.  Germination will occur in spring .  Grow plants to they are around 10cm in height and transplant into the garden.
