    It depends on your garden RD.  It resists being removed when it been there for a while and is bigger than a lot of garden plants

  • My border is about 2 ft wide down the side of my drive. I have pretty self contained flowers and infill with dahlias and thTs that. The Jacobs ladder got gifted as it blinking went everywhere!

    This will go everywhere and nobody will want it.

    It's a big plant, 2 foot across at least for the leaves and then the flowers another foot all round and up at least 4foot

  • It's currently about 1.5ft and flowers havent passed the leaves as yet, looks like I'm outting it then! I attached a picture from my twitter, I wonder if you can confirm that it is what I said. Thanks

    Certainly Carex and looks like pendula

    That triangular appearance to the stems and a bit of a ridge up the back is always carex.
