Sorry Ziggy we posted at same time...choosing the link you beat me to it!Daisies ..thanks for new pic...you can even see the flower. Def Herb Robert.It will love fertile soil!I really hate the smell of it. I have found one plant almost 18" across..it sprawls across the top of the...

Definitely Escallonia.

That's the one with the pretty little seed pods. It's a keeper. Thank you!

I think so too: Spiraea japonica Goldflame. @Trunky, interesting about the reversion you mentioned. Had a look this afternoon and can see several green branches to prune out. Thanks for that! So much good lore among the members here.

A quick google suggests you are bang on going by the way the leaves wrap around the stem; I spotted it growing wild near Heathrow yesterday, and don't think I have seen it before. Pretty wee thing.Thanks

Interesting. I suppose Poole is a lot further South, plus with coastal influence, but it looked well established there ...All the regular sites I checked were silent on it being somewhat tender, but the less well known sites agree with you, so looked like I will have to be careful. At the...

Oh you could be right SS. I have Scabiosa and sure enough the flowers do start off looking like this plant. I will tell my neighbour to stop digging them up and wait and see! They have definitely arrived with something else and were not bought. No idea as yet what colour the flowers will...

You've got to be Bonkers not to like Conkers

It's a little cracker for ground cover, in my old house I had it trailing down a bank in the front garden and it had a lovely effect.Don't let the soil dry out too much though, my banking was really poor soil and overshadowed by two massive Horse Chestnut trees, caused the bank to dry out and...

Otherwise known as Centranthus ruber.Valerian officinalis is a completely different plant.

Yep! Agree with Pal . Its common name is Lords and Ladies or Cuckoo Pint.Get rid of it as it's in the wrong place and can be a bit of a b.... to get rid of if you leave it too long. The roots will end up going down deep.It's a pity because the flower looks OK and in the autumn the bright...
