Plant of the Day
Friday 16 September 2022
In this urban raised bed the small shrub Potentilla fruticosa continues to produce these soft orange coloured flowers. This might be the cultivar Potentilla fruticosa 'Peaches and Cream' or ‘Daydawn’. This plant is ideal for such locations as it will tolerate poor soils, some drought and pruning.

Walked around the university and saw some friends!
Candytuft flowers (Iberis sempervirens). I just learned that these are Braesicaceae and not Asters. :0 The flowerheads threw me off. The individual flowers have four part symmetry though like a good mustard.
Grape hyacinth (Muscari sp.). Alexis Nikole (BlackForager) did a video on these that taught me that the flowers are edible and can be used to color drinks!
Common silverweed (Potentilla anserina)

Plant of the Day
Wednesday 28 September 2022
For about six months of the year the wildflower Potentilla erecta (tormentil) can be found flowering. This creeping perennial has thin wiry stems and the flowers appear through wild grasslands. Historically the roots of the plant were harvested for the leather Industry due to the high levels of tannins.

Keep Plants in Happy Pots
Penny uses pots to grow tender plants, which she can overwinter in her conservatory, including the extraordinary yellow-stemmed Costa Rican bamboo, which stands on the terrace. The plant is more than 1.5m (5ft) high and practically all trunk. Maurice loathes it, but Penny was captivated by its colour and planted it in a contrasting blue glazed pot to show it off to best effect.
She also uses containers to grow varieties which she has failed with in the soil. Yellow and pink corydalis thrive in the ground, for example, but she can only keep the blue variety, which is her favourite, in a pot.
In the same way, Penny hopes her three-tiered raised sleeper bed of hot coloured plants, such as Kniphofia, Ligularia, Penstemons and Potentilla, will transform its spot in the garden, beneath a tree. “The soil there was hopeless,” Penny recalls, “and it was shaded and dark.” Raising the plants in the bed increases their chances of getting some light but, more importantly, Penny filled the railway sleeper framework with leaf-mould to give the plants all the nutrients they need.
