Plantago major 'Rubrifolia'  (Plantago major 'Rubrifolia')

Purple plantain..... Weed you would say. I love it for it's beetroot red leaves. I have solved the problem of self seeding by cutting off the insignificant flowers as soon as I spot a stalk. Missed the one in the centre left!

It great for brightening up a dull border at this time of the year ...

I actually have mine in full sun, but awkward situations, pebbles or between slabs.
