Protecting the Patch



It irks some people to see empty patches of landscape. They bemoan the barren-ness of the garden when in fact it is by neglect a certain piece of the terrace has been left uncultivated. Perhaps the owner of the house has forgotten to water the lawn, or the house is empty at the moment, or that by overuse of weedicide chemicals that patch is bared, or any of a myriad of reasons. To rectify the owner can choose to re-seed the lawn, or plant some plants inside. Let me introduce a lovely looking landscape plant, which is fast growing, hardy, mops up empty spaces inside your heath, and is only about a few inches in height. The false heather (cuphea lythraceae) pictured above should be able to satisfy those who have been irked by the moonscape-like condition of their favourite patch.
