gardeningfantic. Actaea rubra will be included. They seem to be OK in dry shade, this is a dry area. I've grown Actaea alba from seed this year, so seeds next if all goes well
Gf i found this for you, it looks good as an hedge
Salvia Uliginosa
This is a tall vigorous herbaceous perennial needing some space at the back of a border or even densely planted as loose hedging. It will reward you with continual blue simple flowers in whorls making racemes from June to end of October. It has attractive bright green semi-evergreen leaves. Single plants will need staking, drifts or hedges will help support each other. If the plant collapses or becomes unattractive cut back to the ground for new shoots. New shoots are prone to slugs/snails. Happy in sun or partial shade in any nutrient rich well drained soils. Height 120cm and spread 75cm.
Thalictrum and scabious weren't my posting Diddy, though I may have some Thalictrum aquilegifolium out there somewhere if it hasn't all dropped, white or mauve, could be either. and some of that very tiny flowered one that flower-arrangers like. T. minor or minus or something suggesting small. Not a small plant, just small flowers
Hi Stacey Docherty , did you find any Astrantia seed ? I have just taken a mixture of seed from mine , they would be a mixture of pink and white though ? mine are late flowering so I would have to dry them off some more . I know you have to sow these seed fresh .
