Charming Rockery plant
About 15 years ago I bought this charming little plant in a 3 inch pot,
"suitable for the rockery" the label said. http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...ps12e58bb1.jpg Well 15 years on it has taken over the plot it is in, this picture shows around one sixth of the clump, it has been sprayed around the edges to try to contain it. http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...ps61dbd205.jpg It's a lovely plant to have under bushes, but it won't stay there, it's a thug. It's name? I don't know, it devoured the label many years ago. David @ the sunny side of Swansea Bay. PS This is another that's going a bomb this spring. http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...psa35e57b7.jpg |

It's name? Looks like Polygonum capitata. (The Americans call it pink clover.) I've seen it "wild" (a pavement weed). I don't know, it devoured the label many years ago.

It gets into crevices in the greenhouses too. I rather like it but it's definitely very determined! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
