|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The cottage garden is usually less under control than most perennial gardens and borders. More than half of this list are either thugs or self-sowers, and some are biennials: |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alcea |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Alchemilla |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Anthemis |
Aquilegia canadensis All aquilegia seeds and roots are poisonous, since they contain cardiogenic toxins which cause both severe gastroenteritis and heart palpitations if consumed as food |
Red spur and red sepals with Yellow petals. Attracts butterflies and humming-birds for the nectar from the spurs |
Apr-Jun Only lives for about 3-4 years, so plant it in a place where it be can set seed. You can dig up your new seedlings in autumn and replant them where you want, or just collect the seeds and scatter them in bare patches in the border. |
36 x 12 |

White flower spires are generally more demon-strative in front of darker back-grounds. |
|
July, August, September, October Erect form |
48 x 36 |
Deep Purple foliage on upright brownish-purple stems provides excellent texture and color to the landscape throughout the growing season. |
Soil - On the acid side of neutral, light sand and leaf-mouldy but able to retain moisture. Best sheltered in locations sheltered from strong winds. Requires support structure (Birch branch?) |
Adds architectural height and late summer bloom to a shaded part of the border or shade garden. Also effective in woodland gardens, cottage gardens and naturalized areas. Best in groups, although single plants have good specimen value once established. Try it at the back of a border, between evergreens. |
Actaea |
||
Arum maculatum |
Red flower spike followed by berries, which are harmless to birds and eaten by them. The berries are poisonous and the acrid juice ia an acute irritant to humans and other animals. |
4-20 x 4-20 Arum Family |
The leaves are rolled round the midribs like flags. As they unfurl they are dark, handsome leaves shaped like an arrow-head, shining dark green in colour, and sometimes spotted with purplish marks. Foliage dies down by midsummer. |
A rhizomatous perennial tuber of woodlands, hedgerows and other shaded areas on moist, well-drained and reasonably fertile chalk or sand. Plant 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) deep. There is no known antidote to A. maculatum poisoning. The roots were a traditional source of starch for stiffening clothes. |
Use in woodland, riversides, in cottage gardens, under hedges, underplant roses and deciduous shrubs. |
