      Yes, they are nice; attractive pink flowers, a native that is good for pollinators. I've grown them in pots but now I've planted them in my marginal pond area and they are budding up nicely now and showing a little pink.

        Ragged Robin needs good moisture but not sure it will enjoy total shade WO where flowering is likely to be less. Partial shade is ideal I think. Nice plant :)
