Description

All those frothy flowers, without needing much room! 'Petit Henri' packs the charm of Ragged Robin into a compact plant, with double blooms like miniature pom-poms.

Slender stems lift the flowers above a neat mound of dark green leaves, giving the display a light, airy look. Its long flowering season brings plenty to enjoy from spring into autumn.

Try it in a patio pot where you can admire the intricate blooms close up, or tuck it into a border to soften the planting. It also looks lovely beside a pond, where those delicate flowers suit a more natural setting.

This perennial's foliage dies back for winter before fresh growth returns in spring. A little plant with plenty of character, ready to earn its place again each year.

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.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when it's due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
