Thanks for all the replys.............If anyone is interested there are a couple of good threads on these plants .

Ouch

Thank you Silver Surfer

Tis indeed.

Thanks all. I will look out for hidcote.

I thought honeysuckle too. I'm pretty sure it isn't vinca. Obviously it has a good root run so the chances are it will pop up somewhere else, maybe in the border where you could let one flower and satisfy our curiosity!

It is often the case that you need to know what something is to find out what it is!

looks like you may have a hardy geranium possibly wargrave pink in with the lysimachia

I'm glad we've got it sorted between us all Victoria but Stephen gets the feather in his his cap I think. You're right about the double ones, they are pretty. The problem with going on an internet search is there are too many nice plants, I want's, to be seen.

Only if it gets big enough to cut the light from it. Not hard to keep in check, it'll look nice.

I spent my early years playing in a huge garden that had 180ft of hedging across the front garden, my dad had to cut that with hand shears. Perish the thought!

No probs, just re-read my post I should have put late winter to early spring.....oops sorry

Welcome to Gardeners Corner You've got me there

Sure, I'll keep an eye on it and post soon as. Thanks so far everyone.

Thanks all... yes has to be evergreen or will look like a concrete jungle.Not a good look so need various plants.. Also need something that is about 4 foot as landmarks in the garden. Was thinking or putting something that height- ish along the front of the hse. So it helps with reversing keeps...

Hmm, could be Goldenrod - solidago..

Yes and a real seed weed too, is Knautia. Trouble is you do not always get as good a colour as that from seed. If it is a small plant then it can be dug up and moved reasonably easily. Cut it down first and get as much root out as possible. Ditto the Astrantia. The Osteopsernum usually has roots...

Thanks x

Just thought, quince have a downy fur on them by now. Probably pear then. Not as fun as quince!
