I know about the willow as this one is itelf one I grew from cuttings taken from our neighbours' tree in Belgium. These are insurance cuttings as this one is struggling with the drought and is getting regular waterings to help it along.
Shrubby potentilla is lovely in the white, pink and russet forms but I do really dislike the yellow form.

Mines in a&e. Unlikely to survive. If it does, I'll bung it out of sight somewhere.. Is that all you have to do with the 'others' what are they called?@Lyn? Can I do it with snow in summer too?
Snow in summer is a PITA, I’m forever digging it up, spreads so quickly it’s across the beds before you know it, just dig up a root and plant it where you want it. Same with Potentilla.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
By the way, Sedum comes very easily from leaf cuttings too... just tear off the leaves, dib them into a pot of compost, and place them somewhere a bit shady and forget them. Or you could put them straight into the soil if you can remember where you put them. Probably best in late spring so there's time for them to grow into reasonable sized plants.

My first success!
I tried penstemon in water but they all died.
I tried penstemon in gritty compost but they all died.
I tried Lavendar (10 munstead, 5 stoecha) in gritty compost but they all died.
This is Sedum Autumn Joy. So pleased to see roots!
Given me the urge to try again. I'll take some more penstemon, salvia and some more of the sedum.
