Wildflower or Weed?

  • wildflower or weed is a very fine line  :)

    for example no.3 which could be a narrow leafed plantain. If it is, it's a very useful plant because it's roots have a particularly high mycorrhizal fungi 'content' so you can use the roots chopped up to help new plants get established, just like the expensive powder you can buy in the garden centre.



    Ok. Cheers for the advice Raisingirl. So in this instance whereby I am looking to create a low maintenance Wildflower patch that will benefit bees then this can go. Better to keep the room for the cornflowers, poppies etc to come through 

  • Been trying to work out from your advice what this big clump consists of. I'm thinking Plantain but don't want to get rid if they are Cornflower. Its so hard to distinguish. Appreciate you may not be able to see from this picture
