Description

This double-flowered little beauty is a dwarf form of the popular Must Have Perennials® introduction Lychnis 'Jenny'. The compact bushy clumps are topped with masses of fluffy, soft lavender-pink flowers from mid-May into fall. It has a longer blooming period due to the flowers being sterile. Discovered by Paul Gooderham in the UK, in a patch of its parent, 'Jenny'.

Attracts bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, deer resistant

Growing Advice

For quarts, transplant vernalized liners late winter/early spring to flower in 6-8 weeks. Plant unvernalized liners in spring for early summer flowering, but will be less uniform, more sporadic without vernalization. See technical guide for details.
