Description

Set borders and pots alight with vivid cherry-pink flowers that bring months of easy summer colour to your garden.

Lychnis 'Cherry Bubbles' is a bright, compact hardy perennial that earns its place in the garden with very little fuss. From late spring into summer, upright stems carry masses of rounded, bubble-like blooms in a rich pink shade that instantly lifts beds, borders and patio containers.

Use it in cottage garden borders for a relaxed, romantic feel, or pair it with silvery foliage, blues and purples for a sharper, more contemporary look. Planted in small groups, it creates a stronger splash of colour and adds lively movement among lower-growing perennials.

Supplied as an established plant in a 9cm pot, 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.
