I’d be lost without my honesty which gardeners tend to take for granted

Once planted, it will pop up in all your shadiest corners to give dull patches brilliant glow. And I pick this to arrange with tulips by the bucket load. It’s a must for me.

You can harvest the young leaves and add them to salads or wilt them and eat them as you would spinach.
