Summer planting
Contrary to popular opinion, summer planting is fine as long as adequate water is provided throughout any prolonged dry periods. This allows you to take advantage of increased summer growth.
Rumex flexuosus
Height: 0.5m;  Spread: 0.5m
Runa (Herb)
An interesting endemic member of the Dock family, this sprawling plant has bronze foliage and wiry 'flexuous' flower and seed stalks. Generally confined to seasonally boggy and inundated sites, it will tolerate dry periods.
