Set of 3 or 6 Lychnis atrosanguinea Hardy Perennial Plants, Summer Flowering, Bee-Friendly Cottage Garden Plant, 1L Root Ball

Regular price £20.99


Lychnis coronaria 'Atrosanguinea' is a classic cottage garden perennial, treasured for its rich, deep crimson-magenta flowers set against striking silvery-grey, woolly foliage. Flowering throughout the summer months, this eye-catching variety brings bold colour and soft texture to borders, gravel gardens and informal planting schemes. A reliable and low-maintenance performer, it thrives in well-drained soils and sunny positions, making it an excellent choice for both new and experienced gardeners.


This set includes 3 or 6 established plants, each supplied in a 1Ltr root-ball, ready to plant out and establish quickly in the garden. Lychnis Atrosanguinea is fully hardy and will return year after year, often self-seeding to create natural, relaxed drifts of colour. The flowers are attractive to pollinators, providing a valuable nectar source for bees and butterflies throughout the summer.

  • Type: Hardy Herbaceous Perennial

What's Included:

Planting Tips:

Plant in a sunny, well-drained position for the best flower production and foliage colour. Lychnis Atrosanguinea is drought-tolerant once established and performs particularly well in lighter, free-draining soils. Avoid waterlogged conditions over winter. Allow plants to self-seed for a natural, cottage garden effect, or deadhead to prolong flowering and tidy the display.
