The bindweed is pretty. Must say I have a mental block against uninvited vine type things. Too much of a moralist. Lying on top off others and taking their sun doesn't seem to be an honorable way of making a living!

The persicaria is a small one and something of a spreader, but shallow rooted and easy to reduce or move around.

Top of two of my absolutely favorite perennials.
culver's root (Fascination) and PL (going undercover) Morden Pink.
The flower spikes of Fascination are noted for fasciation (growing along a line, rather than to a point). I read recently that that tends to make them bend. Funny what you don't notice until somebody tells you!
