    I posted this as Evening Primrose but I think I was wrong,as I have seen evening primrose since and it doesn't look anything like this,could someone confirm this and is it a perennial :)

    This was when it was in flower and as it is now

    It looks like Oenothera which does belong to the evening primrose family and is a perennial.

        Yup, I reckon it was a Evening Primrose. It is a perennial, but it looks like something has attacked the roots below:dunno::scratch::snork:

        I hope you're right, Woo:snork: My Evening Primroses are still going strong. Yours, hopefully, will have spread it's seeds around the border.:hapydancsmil:

        Depending on which variety you have, it could be a perennial or a biennial.

          I agree it looks like O. missouriensis, its a sprawling perrenial plant.
          Very different from O. biennis, which tends to be a biennial, forming a rosette the first year then flowering the following summer at about 3ft or more.
