Here are my Limnanthes Douglasii. I’ve put these in as pest control this year. Last year I was too late to put them in and the rain did for them.
They are loved by butterflies, hoverflies and bees and attract aphid eaters! I want my beans to be clear this year, so hopefully this will work.
They give off bright green foliage and yellow-and-white flowers. They are a hardy annual that grows to about 15cm (6″)
I have about four of the plants and they should flower July-September.
They have started to flower now (May).
They have got even bigger now (19 May). Note the ‘bald’ patch in the middle:
I checked on them this weekend – 26/05/08 – and they were blowing in the wind.
