I take it the London Pride isn´t very deep rooted? As when hand raking the soil I noticed that I seem to have pulled out a long rooted one of the same plant.
I´m now wondering if I can just stick it back in.
Yes, just stick rooted bits in wherever you want them and water in.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
The plain green leaved form of London Pride grew in my childhood garden. My mum always called it Prince of Wales' Feather, but I haven't seen it referred to by this name so maybe she was mistaken? I find they grow more loosely in shade and don't root as well, as per the OP's finding. The yellow and green variegated one is nice, could brighten up a shady spot. I have it in good light and it forms a dense carpet.
Its a very adaptable plant. It'll grow in sun or shade, damp or dry soil. It may need a bit of extra watering in very dry conditions, but that's about it. Pull pieces off and plant. One of the easiest to propagate. The flowers, and stems, are small and delicate, but great for insect pollinators. It's a brilliant plant for any areas of damp shade if other plants struggle. There's another plant which gets called that @Woodgreen [P. of W feather] but I can't remember what it is. It'll come to me one day randomly, no doubt
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
