Big dreams small spaces
in Plants
In Thursday’s episode the neighbours building a garden together they visited a garden in east Sussex and there was a really pretty spreading pink plant which I missed the name of. I rewound and it was something like coumarian... does anyone know what it was?

Hi Jonathan. Was it this:
Chamaenerion angustifolium
Its common name is Rosebay Willow Herb.
Thank you!
You are most welcome.
Nice one Ladybird4 !
Thanks Paul
If that's what it was,for "a really pretty spreading pink plant " I'd say pretty, but hideously invasive weed"
Haha I was also going to post, pink plant at the begining of visit to Hardies (its quite near me) it wasnt that though, It was a nam I had never heard of, and had pale pin/white flowers similar to a Gaura?Diddnt look anything like this colour.
Its a nursery Hardies Garden plants. Stone Cross off the A22
I always thought of that plant as a weed, but a pretty weed. The episode I saw yesterday was about a "yardon" and a tranquil Japanese garden, but I might have been watching it on catch up.
I was impressed with the tiny yard, but the Japanese garden has been worrying me ever since ?. It just looked an awful mess to me, and next doors trampoline didn't add to the ambience. The torrential river, the grey concrete steps and the masses of blonde pebbles didn't look tranquil to my eyes. I heard them say it cost £7000 to achieve.
