I must admit this isn't a plant I'd want myself but neither do I subscribe
to the 'only white plants' view, either. It's a good job we're all
different as to likes and dislikes. We had someone the other day asking for
advice on planting a south facing border and she intensely dislikes blue and
yellow. I'm not quite sure what Ray suggested for her but white would be
good!
Psssst. Probably being mobbed by rooks - one rook is a crow, several crows
are rooks, remember! Our rooks haven't yet returned from their summer
holiday - heaven alone knows where they go.
