At this rate of weather they're still in line for a chilling if they need one Ryan. Get them sowed and put them outside. They won't want heat they're hardy native plants.
Ragged robin is Lychnis flos-cuculi and usually manages to stand up on it's own.
Lychnis coronaria is the one with felted leaves and white or magenta flowers. Can fall over.
Lychnis chalcedonica is the red one, Maltese Cross and always falls over. Also comes in pink and white now but they're not so impressive
Hi hollie hock. I should think you'll get some whites, maybe all white. But there is a tendency for things to seed back to the basic species. I love ragged robin. Don't know if I'll have any this year, I know its natural habitat is damp meadows but my 'damp' meadow has been under water for months. Might be expecting too much. Just waiting to see if the snakeshead fritillaries have survived the same treatment.
Thankyou everyone for your help, sown some tonight (as bought some in b and q just before they shut), just in seed compost and watered...so they'll just be fine now?
