Hi All,
I'm blitzing a flowerbed that has been overgrown for a few years, and
have found three plants that i'd like to know more about.

1)
A nice little shrub
2) A tall thin thing with nice coloured leaves
3) A rather leggy and leafy thing with very bright purple indigo
flowers that stain quite badly if you touch them.....
Any ideas? The shrub is obviously a keeper, but I'm not sure about the
others....
the blue thing is a Tradescantia. Why would you not want to keep it?
Nice blue flowers?
Well - it's got a rather high leaf to flower ration and is a bit tatty.
Nothing that can't be repaired though I'd imagine - after all, it's
been covered by nettles and weeds for a while. The flowers are
certainly nice....but they don't half stain children!
We'll keep it!
