It goes nicely with its companions.

Thanks Margaret. As long as there is not another slithery companion going Sisssss at me. I really like bare beds so I can see any snakes.

Patricia what is the pretty pink flower complementing the rose so well? I have grass snakes, lizards and slow worms living under sheets of corrugated iron that I've put down for them but like most of British wildlife they are rather drab and boring.

Some sort of Verbena I think. I've had it now for 21 years and it likes the acid soil conditions here. It came as a passalong when I also acquired "Beryl Turner's Tiny White" - see that reference.

Thank you Patricia, I thought it was a verbena, just wondered if you knew which one so I could try and get seed, it would be great for bedding out. I like the phrase "It came as a passalong...", just as Verbena bonariensis and Viola labradorica piggy-backed their way into my garden in the pots of other plants.
