Description

If you’re looking for long-flowering, easy-care perennials that bring both beauty and biodiversity to your garden, the Lychnis 'Petite' Collection is the answer. This charming duo of compact Lychnis varieties provides months of vibrant colour, delicate double blooms, and a natural magnet for pollinators.

Included in this collection are Lychnis 'Petite Jenny' and Lychnis 'Petite Henri', each offering their own unique charm.

'Petite Jenny' produces exquisite soft pink, double flowers that rise elegantly above lush green foliage. Unlike many other Lychnis varieties, it is sterile, meaning it won’t self-seed, ensuring an extended flowering season from late spring and through summer.

Lychnis 'Petite Henri' complements this with masses of pure white, double flowers that resemble miniature, frothy pom-poms. Emerging from mounded, deciduous foliage, these blooms create a stunning contrast in the garden, adding structure and movement as they sway gently in the breeze. This variety is equally compact, growing to just 40cm tall, making it perfect for smaller spaces, edging, or even growing near a pond.

Both varieties are a magnet for pollinators, attracting bees and butterflies to your garden. Whether you plant them in a traditional cottage garden, a contemporary border, or a wildlife-friendly planting scheme, these Lychnis will create a lasting impact.

Supplied as a pair of established plants in 9cm pots, including one of each named variety, ready to plant.

Top Tips
Be sure to cut back hard after the first wave of flowering in the summer, in order to possibly see a second flurry of blooms in early autumn.
Care Information
  • Best planted in full sun or a partially shaded location, in soil that is moist, fertile soil.
  • Dig a square hole as deep as the roots as supplied, and approximately 1.5x as wide.
  • Add Mycorrhizal fungi to the planting hole to help the plant establish quicker.
  • Spread the roots gently and place into the planting hole.
  • Mix well rotted compost or manure with the soil taken from the hole and then use to backfill around the plant.
  • Keep well-watered until established.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
