Scratch the G. palmatum. The wind will decimate it in an exposed site and I
should have thought of that before. But the Hypericum and Vinca are both
possibles. Hypericum is commonly known as St John's Wort and Vinca as
speedwell.
Is it?????
I've always known speedwells as veronicas, and Vincas as periwinkles
(though why they should have the same name as a smelly sea snail I don't
know!)
But then I'm out of step on gilliflowers as well.
And my mother always called marsh marigolds 'Crazes'
