Clumping, easy perennials

I've realised that I do most of my weeding with a hoe so I need obvious clumps of plants so that I don't chop their heads off - as has happened several times. Wink The bigger the clump, the less there is to weed.
I've planted Ajuga under the gooseberry bushes and I never weed there. Similarly with dianthus - the small clumps haven't quite joined up yet but they're reaching out to each other.

Lucky you ! wish I had a problem with hot lips (salvia I mean!).
I do get hot lips when I pick lots of euphorbia though - anyone else??

I have several Salvias (including Hot Lips) but my favourites are the Pineapple/Tangerine/Blackcurrant/Honeydew melon ones with the scented leaves - they're in flower now too. Very tactile plants, have to have a rub and a sniff as I pass them.
As for FEW's Euphorbia, I stopped growing them because of the sap - don't remember it affecting my lips though. Big Grin
