Chrispook's Garden
Red Orache
Genus: Atriplex.
Species: Atriplex hortensis.
Bought the seeds at Great Dixter in UK. It turned out to be very attractive in a quiet slender sort of way. It grew tall 1m, and was good at back of border and toned well with cleomes. Seed saved.
I noticed some self sown seedlings in bed near buddlia today 7th March 2008. I sowed some of last years seed in side garden near boundary having noticed they prefer shade.
Sowed rest of seeds in various beds on L side garden.
