This week on The Horti-Culturalists we take a look at seven fabulous perennial plants that add colour and form to the garden that Stephen grows purely for the foliage that he allows to self seed in a managed way. Some of these plants can be thuggish in the garden, and in fact in some regions could be weedy, so Stephen removes the flower heads before they mature unless he wants to collect seed that year.
The plants we cover in this video are:
Rumex sanguineus or red veined dock
Plantago major 'Rubra'
Anthriscus sylvestris 'Ravenswing'
Anthriscus sylvestris 'Golden Fleece'
Foeniculum vulgare 'Purpureum' or bronze fennel
Lunaria annua 'Alba Variegata' or honesty
Arundo donax variegata
