Rumex sanginueus

I have found a happy trio of edging and ground cover for a shady corner . After  swapping the Black mondo grass for Carex oshimenis .  The one Rumex I planted was now half a dozen .  And a small pot of Creeping Charley has happily spread itself in all directions .

  1. The Rumex looks great with the red veins, very decorative. That's great that it self-sowed, I think mine also came back for a while, maybe it's still around. It does look very nice as an edging, very crisp.

  2. Charlie does his job: creeping around, covering ground. Nice of you to find him such a charming companion.

  3. It certainly is a pretty little accent plant with the deep red veins - it is said that the leaves of r. sanguineus are edible, but I've never tried...Matt
