Common Knapweed (Centaurea nigra) is a classic plant of rough grassland, dry meadows and road verges. This makes it ideal for planting on small scale large green roofs. It is also a great plant and is included in my species lists for brown roofs and biodiverse roofs. Kidney Vetch (Anthyllis vulneraria) is a UK native wildflower of chalk, grasslands, shingle banks, cliffs and Junes. It is very common on green roofs in Switzerland and can sometimes tend to dominate an extensive green roofs. However it’s profuse yellow flower heads are a real magnet for bees, butterflies and other pollinators. Selfheal (Prunella vulgaris) is a delightful plant. It tends to grow quite short on green roofs, and brown roofs that have been designed for biodiversity. Some sedum blanket growers also include it in their products in seed form. |
