Rumex sanguineus is the botanical name if you want to look it up. Hardy to zone 6. I only grow it for the foliage.Tom - 7th Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416233066465228351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-73123064793202966622010-03-23T21:05:24.035-04:002010-03-23T21:05:24.035-04:00Wonderful entry Tom. the periwinkle are charming....Wonderful entry Tom. the periwinkle are charming.

I keep the flower stalks cut from mine. I've never seen it bloom. I just divide it each spring. This year, I created 8 new plants. I lost a couple of small ones over the winter, but the original plant is doing great. It looks nice as a border plant.Tom - 7th Street Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03416233066465228351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-91240270573337449042010-03-23T17:56:43.583-04:002010-03-23T17:56:43.583-04:00I really like the looks of the bloody dock!

I have never seen it growing before.<br /><br />The only thing about spring that I don't like is the wind.<br /><br />It is beautiful here today too.<br />I burned off the grass bed.gldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645803822598151817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2620060925762450118.post-75375054684682709212010-03-23T17:39:52.770-04:002010-03-23T17:39:52.770-04:00Enjoy your two days off!
