Lychnis flos-cuculi 'White Robin' (White Ragged Robin)

Lychnis flos-cuculi 'White Robin,' commonly known as White Ragged Robin, is a delicate and airy perennial wildflower. It features pristine white, deeply lobed, and ragged star-shaped flowers that rise on slender stems above a rosette of narrow, lance-shaped green leaves. This charming variety provides a softer alternative to the traditional pink Ragged Robin, making it an excellent addition to naturalistic plantings or damp garden areas.

Lychnis flos-cuculi 'White Robin' prefers moist, well-drained soils and is ideal for rain gardens, ponds, or streamside plantings. It is attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies while being resistant to deer and rabbits. Deadheading spent blooms can encourage extended flowering and maintain a tidy appearance. This low-maintenance perennial pairs beautifully with other moisture-loving plants like irises, astilbes, and marsh marigolds, creating a harmonious and natural look in the garden.
