Re: Melianthus

Title: Re: Melianthus
I have a Melianthus mystery.

I bought a plant as Melianthus minor, which it apparently isnt.

It is dwarf in all respects and lays low along the ground, but it is as blue foliaged as M. major , with a slight cast of purple to the mid-rib, and very cut leaf.

can anyone tell me what this plant is?

Re Melianthus. Fine here on the Cumbrian coast, both M. major and the less frequently seen (not as showy but still worth growing) M. villosus and M. comosus. That is, fine as foliage plants. In my tiny flat garden overcrowded with evergreens, they don't get enough sun to flower - but, to pinch your line, you can't have everything...
 
I'm envious of the mild and rhodo-friendly hectare. What else of the 'damp woodland' range of plants are you growing?
