Common toadflax (Linaria vulgaris) is an excellent plant on green roofs. However it is vulnerable to drought and therefore needs to be in at least 150mm to really flourish. A good tip is to plant between a couple of logs. The logs provide a little shade and protection form the wind. [...] Thrift is a coastal plant thriving on cliff and cliff tops. Thriving in such stressed conditions makes it ideally suited to green roofs. Mignonette (Reseda lutea) is a native berb that has dense terminal spikelike clusters of yellowish white flowers. The scent of the flowers is an intense spicy fragrance. It is a good green roof plant, where the substrates are deeper than 100mm. Being a classic plant of dry soils and rocky places the wild strawberry is a great green roof plant. It is commonly used on the continent on green roofs and there are many examples of it being used as a dominant green roof plant in the UK. |
