Identification Area

@Anthony Rogers it's slightly south-west of the Dicentra behind the Grape Hyacinths but you may not be able to see it as it hadn't leafed up when the picture was taken.

Just an update on this plant

I know its a very old thread but I noticed the plant was on offer in a newspaper, Thompson & Morgan are selling a patio version of this plant, will definitely be buying one of these, looks such a great looking plant and I have just the pot for it

Will try. But it at least makes it clear that I did not supply the plant which is good from my point of view. Thanks much

Ah wow fast replies!! Thank you Zigs and Silver Surfer :-) I might be posting a few more in the coming days :-)

Sorry but it is definitely not a walnut. This is the catkins of a walnut.It is a Salix sp...a willow tree. It will grow HUGE . Not at all suitable for a small back garden. The roots are thirsty for water and will seek any pipes nearby ..sewerage pipes/water pipes ..if possible they will...

Thank you @pete just googled and it is goat willow, same catkins last year. Not going to keep it.. been feeding it last few years too Will keep the hebes and see what they're like

Yeah, might be a problem since it's currently growing in the wall supporting my patio!!! Out it's coming!

Thanks everyone for your advice. Barry

Very true,Personally, I would leave one flower spike, near the back of the clump, to set seed. This way, @Anth will have a permenant colony of yummy rocket....

Thanks for the quick response looks like you could be right I'll have to decide what to do with it now, thank you.

Good afternoon @Sian in Belgium my friend thank you,now that does ring a bell

No they dont, they smell very nice. Well I think they do anyway

The third one looks (like @Scrungee suggested) Wood Avens.To @Sandra-Tingle, if you decide to leave it and it produces yellow flowers in the summer, I'd recommend cutting the heads off before they turn to seed. The seeds are barbed, stick to clothing and animal fur tend and to rip out and...

Yes I agree, colours can be boldy used successfully. And a matter of personal taste comes into it.Also my vision for that particular bed has always been plenty of foliage plants, with predominantly white blooms and the odd splash of colour. We shall see, it might be a rip roaring success.GG

I would trim the new uprights back about 8", give it a feed and a mulch and I reckon it will flower next winter.

Hi " M ",The first pic look like Sweet Williams ( Dianthus Barbatus ). You sow them one year and they flower second year onwards.The second one looks like Malva, some people call it a weed but if you've got a spare bit of ground it is a pretty plant.

They're easy enough to weed out, that's when you notice the smell

Celandine is now called Ficaria verna, by the way.
