An increasingly rare native wildflower originating from our wild wetlands, marshes and woodlands.
Narrow divided pink petals have the appearance of being frayed hence the name 'ragged'. These delicate flowers are a joy to behold and make a wonderful addition to any wildlife garden.
These moisture loving plants will thrive in a boggy or waterlogged area of the garden or planted near the border of a pond.
POLLINATORS: Bumble bees, honey bees & butterflies
WILDLIFE: Planted near to a pond they will attract dragonflies, bees and butterflies which in turn will bring frogs, toads and other wildlife.
