Salvia uliginosa is a fabulous shade of blue! Welsh poppies are a super Miss Willmott plant - I also like a plant which is a pleasure to weed!

My Miss W. plant might well be the Welsh poppy: easy-peasy to seed, a gorgeous cheerful yellow and virtually indestructible. I love the randomness of it in my own garden and it's easy to pull out if it pops up somewhere I don't like.

I like Limnanthes too - it's great for beneficial insects. I think I'll give Nemophila a go as I've never tried to grow it. I don't know why not, because I do like it and it doesn't need staking! So thanks for the tip.<br /><br />I have to say, after 10 days under snow, I did wonder how Salvia uliginosa might fare, but it has coped magnificently so far this winter. It propagates easily, so if you want to grow it, it might be worth overwintering some with a little protection. <br /><br />Sarah Shoesmithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03410745860215082568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607070511807868177.post-68990453773188321202013-01-29T15:23:01.169+00:002013-01-29T15:23:01.169+00:00I hardly dare suggest Limnanthes the poached egg p...I hardly dare suggest Limnanthes the poached egg plant, it can be a thug. Nemophila 'Penny Black' has a similar self-seeding lifecycle and is less aggressive.<br />You mention resisting staking Salvia ulginosa. I resist staking nearly all my own plants!<br />Unfortunately your salvia does not overwinter well on my soil!Roger Brook - No Dig Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16210160273591839142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8607070511807868177.post-29674648937817482052013-01-21T20:54:50.786+00:002013-01-21T20:54:50.786+00:00Thank you Dewberry - and welcome!
