Still the 2 varieties of FMNs do look nice together. The only ones growing in my own garden are the Chinese variety but they've yet to self-seed for me.<br /><br />My biggest planting mistake may be the Cotula lineariloba but at least it seems easy to remove. The prior owner planted mint (!!!) in one of the raised planters in the vegetable garden and I've been trying to remove that for the last 5 years. Geranium incanum and Centranthus ruber are also invasive here but I don't know if a prior owner planted them or whether they blew in on their own - both are worse than Stipa tenuissima in my book, yet are commonly sold in local nurseries.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-41374555680692650822016-05-06T22:54:17.169-07:002016-05-06T22:54:17.169-07:00Beautiful flowers, Hannah!

I find the smell so off-putting! When I first moved here I was grateful for it filling in the gaps on the bare rockery, but along with the forget-me-nots it has been weeded out to a minimum, although I agree the flowers are very pretty! Oh, and an invasive plant I planted (given to me by a neighbour!) was the Chinese lantern plant 'Physalis alkekengi' which has horrible roots that run for miles underground it seems....

One in particular, G. oxonianum 'Claridge Druce', self-sows trememdously and has spread through some of my beds so well that it ended my weeding problems, except lately an annual grass has moved in I will have to weed out. I have Rozanne, I love it, from one plant it spreads into a 6' circle covered with blooms all summer and in to fall. I can't imagine why all your plants in separate locations would all go missing at once! It doesn't self-sow, sadly.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773149110503024929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495323991307537519.post-52950200159305995172016-05-04T06:21:28.684-07:002016-05-04T06:21:28.684-07:00I can see you are a geranium lover too.

I had forgotten its name and your post made me look it up, for the umpteenth time :-)<br />I actually like the smell of the herb Robert and let it grow wherever it likes, as the leaves pretty too. <br />Sadly, one geranimu I really liked, has disappeared. It was a new garden variety, and those are always a little dodgy. Blue flowers and called G. Rozanna. All fpour plants, in different parts of the garden, have vanished.
