    Plant label, I don't like the yellow flowers either but these look OK:

    I'll buy whatever I can find and hope for the best. The marginata are a pain to germinate, which is why I only got one when I tried them a few years ago.

    Saw some Ms advertised on etsy as evergreen  perennials. 
    Good luck with that🙄

    OOooohh. That's lovely. Euphorbia seem to like it here. I was given Fireglow (?) and it's trying to conquer the world.
    That would draw the eye nicely past the dandelions.

    I know one isn't green and white but it's a lovely dark purple maroon. Much darker than the picture.

    A nice selection @B3.  My recent additions all look better than on the plant label too!

    I've decided to go with the climate flow. Any part of the garden that would need me to connect up the extension  hose reel will have to see to itself. Good job I like euphorbia. I will try to love phormiums but it's hard . Miscanthus is way too happy  - another I'm going to take over the world plant. A new type of gardening for me to learn.

    Panicums are another option to consider, not as "get out of my way" as Miscanthus!
