Lythrum salicaria 'Robert'

Create a spectacular splash of colour with Lythrum salicaria 'Robert', a compact, award-winning perennial that produces masses of upright flower spikes in rich rosy-magenta from midsummer through to early autumn. Its vibrant blooms rise above attractive lance-shaped foliage, adding height, structure and long-lasting colour to borders. A magnet for beneficial pollinators, this easy-going variety is ideal for cottage gardens, wildlife-friendly planting schemes and waterside settings.

Thriving in full sun or partial shade, 'Robert' prefers moist, fertile, well-drained soil but adapts well to most garden conditions once established. This reliable perennial returns year after year with minimal maintenance. Deadhead faded flower spikes to encourage an extended display, or leave seed heads for added seasonal interest before cutting back in late autumn or early spring. Pair with astrantia for a naturalistic display full of movement, colour and pollinator appeal.

Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
