Default Hidden Gardens: maintaining a flowery mead

In article , Carol Russell Russells@

I actually noted the plants they were putting in: Hawksbit, Field
Scabious and Campion. Hmmm. Next time a Ranunculus appears in an
otherwise weed less green lawn, out with the scissors and make it a
feature! Except that I think part of the charm was in the regular
spacing of the meaded plants.


I was wondering what they'd do about the invasive tendencies of
_Hieracium aurianticum_ ((Orange) Hawkbit).

They did in fact go into the problem of grass growth at some length, and
they also considered Ranunculus species to be included.


_Ranunculus acris_ 'Flore Pleno', which they said wasn't invasive.
