PLANT OF THE WEEK

LYCHNIS ‘PETITE JENNY’

This is a dainty but striking perennial that has lots of pink fluffy flowers on top of wiry stems.

It’s a cultivated variety of the native ragged robin, which is found in damp pastures and meadows, so grow this in a moisture-retentive soil or if you have it in a pot, keep it well watered. Flowering from May to June, it will attract butterflies and honeybees to its nectar.
