If there was a gardening apocalypse and you could save only one plant in your garden, what would it be? ( pictures would be good  but not essential).

Probably should say something edible, but, these echinaceas, they do so well here and the colour would cheer me up. This pic was from last year. As you can see, the apocalypse has already hit ‘the lawn’

I’d save the Knautia Macedonia. Ours are just coming into bloom and already really tall, swaying in the breeze.

Fire

Cavelo nero would probably take you a long way.

Only do you a couple of years at the most tho ?

The Knautia would be a good one, not easy to grow from seeds.

I think I'd take my elder bush.  I could tie down a branch to make a bender tent for shelter.  When the berries came, I'd plant some, they are easy to grow.  Before long I'd have a thicket of them.  I'd coppice them for kindling, eat the berries and sun-dry the surplus for later use.  If the post-apocalyptic regime became unbearable, I could ferment the berries and get pissed.

My Rose.  My Valentine. IMO it has to be todays top red rose.  It's a HT with large blooms that last in excess of twenty-one days with no colour fading.  I purchased it mainly due to it's name and in rememberance of my beloved wive Valerie.  She was My Valentine, she was born on 14/2/1944.  We shared 49 wonerful years together.
