Ragged Robin
Ragged Robin is a native wildflower that grow in moisture retentive soil and can typically be found in damp meadow areas or beside streams in the UK. With dark green lance shaped leaves, this herbaceous perennial grows in an upright habit with tall stems and clusters of branched white flowers in springtime and early summer. Ragged Robin attracts pollinators and makes an excellent waterside wildflower plant, along with Marsh Marigold, Cuckoo Flower and Purple Loosestrife.
