The 'Petite Jenny' Ragged Robin breathes romance and lightness into any landscape with its compact silhouette and generous bloom. This variety distinguishes itself with soft pink double flowers, finely fringed, that seem to dance above structured dark green foliage. Perfect for small spaces, it offers a sustained floral display while attracting buzzing life to the garden, all with disconcerting ease of culture.
