Lychnis flos-cuculi ‘Petite Jenny’
Lychnis flos-cuculi 'Petite Jenny' has fully double, soft lavender-pink flowers on compact plants.
Discovered in a patch of Lychnis flos-cuculi ‘Jenny’, ‘Petite Jenny’ is a more compact form or ragged robin with long lasting, fully double, soft lavender-pink flowers with masses of fine petals creating a lovely disheveled effect. The flowers last for a long period from late spring to fall because they are sterile and cannot produce seed. This is an easy care, bushy perennial that grows up to 16 inches tall and 18 inches wide. Reblooms reliably if deadheaded. Use in cottage, rock and bog gardens in average soils or as a marginal plant in moist soils around ponds. Deer resistant
