Thanks Wiseowl!Pretty sure it's the Jekyll from that gallery... and appreciate the pruning reference.Best, Chris

Thanks so much!I know what you mean about it being a bit of a thug, there's quite a lot of it around the garden and I've already dug a load up.Might try to remove that from the Phlox to give the Phlox a bit of space. Assuming it is Phlox that is - I'll send more pictures when it...

Thanks, noisette, that's great to hear.

Hi Cinnamon. Yes, it looked herbaceous and I think, having had a look at a few images on the web, it could very well be purple orach.Many thanks for your help.

Thank you surfer this looks like the one many thanks

Spring time is when the larve are doing the most damage March through to May, then the larve turns into the adults and then starts laying eggs in the woody stems ready for next year, more info here, hope this helps

Let the seed heads dry off and then pick them carefully and store them in a cool dry place. You can then sprinkle the seeds where you would like them next year! If you are lucky the bees will have cross pollinated them with a different poppy and you will get a variation of different forms.

As Madahhlia says, it's a hardy geranium and you can get tough with it. I think it's cranesbill 'Claridge Druce':

It's definitely Lysimachia ciliata Firecracker, pretty little yellow flowers with that gorgeous bronze foliage. A great gap filler, and really trouble free. You may need to stake it a little, if it is a bit straggly chop it down by half and it will grow a little bushier. I have it in one of my...

Looks like some of them are growing through slabs, so digging out may be impossible there. That's where I find most of mine to be honest - coming through gaps in paving slabs and edges of borders where they look like they're growing through the wall.

Them's the ones! Smashing, thank you :D I thought I'd killed two of them last year, I put them in hanging baskets out front and promptly forgot about them. They were looking dicey this year but apparently they are happy!

Good afternoon Victoria I agreed with you just as long as we win more than we lose we will be OK my friend cuidar meu amigo

No Euphorbia on your patch is there? The sap from that would be very likely to cause that reaction.

You were very helpful, Thank you.Sent from my SGH-I897
