It's E today for #MHHSBD alphabet challenge so let's talk about Elves 💚💛
If they're making your life difficult, (and who hasn't had problems?) you need to grow some Elecampane also known as Elfwort or Elf Dock🧝
For this plant's other, (and maybe more real), properties check out the ALT text 😊🐝
There is a large Elecampane flower in the centre of the picture. This is bright yellow with long thin petals and a yellow centre. There is a Bumblebee and large Hoverfly feeding from the flower. The background shows a tree and hedgerow with a pale blue sky beyond. There is also a chunky green with red markings Elecampane bud in the bottom left hand. Elecampane info.: Elecampane is a tall, impressive plant, (up to 2 metres), with large leaves, (up to 60cm long), and large yellow flowers which are loved by Bumblebees and Hoverflies. It does take a couple of years to reach full size and it's likely it won't produce flowers in its first year but it is worth waiting for. Elecampane has also been called Elf Wort, Elf Dock and Horse Heal. The root has been used in herbal medicine to treat respiratory disorders and up until the early 20th century, was used as a flavouring for sweets. Elecampane attracts Bees, Hoverflies and Ground Beetles. It is an RHS "Plants for Pollinators" plants. Seeds available from our shop at www.jemimasgarden.co.uk

Little Melissodes microsticta drying out before she starts work for the day. Ants were farming aphids on the elecampane, so of course I got covered in them! #rileyparkcommunitygarden #bees
Female M. microsticta on my thumb. Also an ant. Same bee on elecampane.

A quiet charisma in yellow — Inula helenium, imperfect and radiant all the same.

Our Medieval Herb Gardeners' plant of the week is elecampane 🌼

In #TheOdyssey, Helen of Troy is supposed to have been holding elecampane when she was kidnapped by Paris. The plant was also said to have sprouted wherever her tears fell.

It’s the end of a lovely weekend and this coming week will see our seasonal staff returning before new people join us at the start of March. Then it’s full steam ahead. This medicinal herb flower is Elecampane, loved by pollinators as well as by us 🌱 💛 🐝

I added elecampane to the medicinal garden for its use as an expectorant & digestive aid, but bonus: the bees can’t get enough! 🐝
Although not native to North America, it’s not considered invasive and behaves nicely in regular gardens. 🌱

Despite the dry conditions, my Elecampane has flourished this year and the Bees have gone mad for it 😊
Takes a little while to get going but once it's established you've got a lovely, great big impressive Pollinator magnet in your garden 😊🐝
Seeds available from our online shop.
