What I like about this patio (apart from the amazing view over Bath) is that it Alchemilla mollis all over it. The only self-seeders I get on my patio is weeds, so I’m intrigued as to how this got here – was it planted, or did it come naturally? It reminds me of the fab patio area at Gravetye.
I find that alchemilla mollis does self-seed in my garden. It’s rather random, but a pleasant surprise to find a baby and watch it grow and finally be able to move it to somewhere where I want it. Keep watching–you may find some where you aren’t expecting them to be.
That is perfection, and so simple! I love alchemkilla mollis but it doesn’t do much in our garden, I wish it would self-seed a bit more! It’s such a useful plant and looks lovely with purple or blue flowers.

Yes, it’s a great foil for other plants. I like it with magenta flowers, such as Geranium psilostemon or ‘Patricia’.
Hey love your blog, came to try and find some inspiration on patio designs and ideas really. Would love to see some more blogs in this category 😉
Thanks Sean
I’ll do my best : )
