Plant of the Day
Sunday 4 August 2024
On the edge of a carpark there was this impressive stand of Chamaenerion angustifolium (rosebay willowherb, bay willow, blooming willow, burntweed, fireweed, moose tongue, Persian willow, wickup). This is a rhizomatous, strongly-spreading perennial that forms dense colonies. The spikes of purplish-pink flowers are followed by long pink-tinged seed pods containing seeds in silky plumes.
