The black fruits of Sambucus ebulus (danewort, dane weed, danesblood, dwarf elder, walewort, dwarf elderberry, elderwort, blood hilder) follow the flat corymbs of small white flowers. This herbaceous, rhizomatous perennial has unbranched stems and the species has been widely used for herbal remedies.

The second lovey thing to come through the post for me today is the latest edition of @gardennewsmagazine which includes another piece by me on less common species and varieties of well known plants. . Following on from Fruit, Vegetables, Herbs and Herbaceous Perennials, today we look at Bulbs! More to come too, so get that subscription organised. . I have been shortlisted for the Garden Media Guild’s Alan Titchmarsh New Talent Award 2020, which I am delighted about. My writing in Garden News Magazine is part of the reason for this shortlisting. I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I do writing them. Several of the magazine’s writers including @naomisladegardening, the Magazine itself and editor Karen Murphy are also up for awards, so fingers crossed for multiple wins. . #gardenmediaguild #gardenmediaguildawards #GMG #gardennewsmagazine #article #writer #blogger #gdnbloggers #bulbs #herbaceousperennial #iplantsman #herbs #fruit #vegetables #gardenwriter #gardening (at Crowborough, East Sussex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGkQVkygKoc/?igshid=129t63yiqmvef

Phytolacca americana-American Pokeweed

Plant Community: Old Field

Native Region:  Eastern North America, the Midwest, and the Gulf Coast, with more scattered populations in the far West.

Mature Size:8 feet (2 meters) in height

Habitat (preferred growing conditions): In the wild, it is easily found growing in pastures, recently cleared areas, and woodland openings, edge habitats such as along fencerows, and in waste places.

Eco-indicator: n/a

Hardiness Zone: 4-11

Provision of habitat resource for wildlife: Birds are unaffected by the natural chemicals contained in the berries and eat them, dispersing the seeds. Seed are also found in commercial seed (e.g., vegetable seed packets).The berries are reported to be a good food source for songbirds and other bird species and small animals unaffected by its toxins.Distribution via birds is thought to accounts for the appearance of "single, isolated plants" in areas that had otherwise not been populated by pokeweed. They are otherwise poisonous to humans and other animals unless cooked in certain situations.

Leaf/Flower Color: Green Leaf/ Purple Flower

Visiting a local farm I saw this wonderful double flowered form of Papaver orientale (oriental poppy, eastern poppy) in the front garden. This perennial poppy is covered with beautiful silvery hairs and will become naturalised in grassy embankments.
