This cultivar is a white-flowered variety of the native European species, Lychnis flos-cuculi, which is typically found in damp meadows, marshes, and along stream banks. It is well-suited for cottage gardens, wildflower meadows, and moist garden areas, where its delicate blooms can add a touch of elegance. White Ragged Robin typically grows to a height of 1 to 2 feet, with a spread of about 1 foot. The plant has slender, branched stems that support its fine, grass-like leaves, which are lance-shaped and bright green. The foliage forms a basal rosette, with additional pairs of leaves along the flowering stems. Blooming from late spring to early summer, Lychnis flos-cuculi 'White' produces clusters of delicate, star-shaped flowers that are about 1 inch in diameter. Each flower has five deeply fringed petals, giving them a ragged, feathery appearance. The pristine white colour of the flowers contrasts beautifully with the green foliage, creating a striking display that attracts various pollinators, including bees and butterflies. White Ragged Robin prefers full sun to partial shade and thrives in consistently moist to wet soils. Caring for Lychnis flos-cuculi 'White' is relatively straightforward. The plant requires regular watering to maintain its preferred moist conditions, especially during dry periods. Overall, Lychnis flos-cuculi 'White' is a versatile and attractive plant that enhances the beauty and ecological value of moist garden areas.
