Lychnis flos-cuculi, commonly known as ragged robin, is a clump-forming perennial with slender, green stems and finely divided, grass-like leaves forming airy, upright foliage. In late spring to summer it produces star-shaped, bright pink flowers with deeply cut petals, creating a delicate and naturalistic display in damp meadows, pond margins, and wet soils.
This species is valuable for pollinators such as bees and butterflies and enhances wetland biodiversity. Its upright, clump-forming habit and tolerance of consistently moist soils make it ideal for pond edges, damp meadows, and naturalistic water gardens.
