    ...now I don't think it is! I think I dug this out of the front garden when I was sorting out my hedged area.

    Any ideas on what it is? It smells quite herby.

      Monarda Snorky....don’t grow them so can’t say which one.

          ha ha it's typical that I remember the name 2 minutes after posting. I've been wondering what it is for weeks! lol. I think "pink lace" springs to mind. I actually moved it out of the back side border last year as it got downy mildew and I thought it was dead. Didn't come out of the front garden at all...I'm going mad.
