Ragged Robin Wildflower Seed | Silene flos-cuculi

Ragged Robin | Silene flos-cuculi (Syn. Lychnis flos-cuculi)

A delicately beautiful native British perennial, boasting charming pink flowers adorned with ragged petals.

Ragged Robin thrives in damp conditions such as wetland meadows alongside companions like meadow buttercup. Once a common sight along roadsides and in wet meadows and pastures across Britain, ragged Robin has sadly dwindled in numbers due to modern farming practices and wetland drainage.

This tough and reliable perennial is an ideal addition to any damp border, bog garden, pond edge, or wildflower meadow. Its adaptability makes it an excellent choice for various garden settings, ensuring it can flourish wherever it's planted.

Sow ragged robin in the spring from March to May, or in autumn from August to October.

All our native wildflower seed is sourced from stock grown in the wild in Britain. It is then multiplied up commercially and packed in the UK so you can be confident you are buying native British wildflower seed.
