    Hi, just want an I'D on this plant, I think is was from one of my many cuttings that were gathered during my wanderings.

    Here is a pic taken a couple of weeks ago.

        It looks like a very happy phlox, maybe paniculata? to me, @Upsydaisy .

          :heehee:That’s not so much me being knowledgeable, as it looks just like the only phlox I have, which is paniculata...:redface:

          Thanks @Perki and @Sian in Belgium ....it does have a lovely fragrance too.:smile:
          I only have this one and it is quite big . Thinking about it I now recall taking a bit from my Dad's garden a year or so ago. I want to try and propagate some....any advice on that please.:)

            They clump up beautifully and I just carefully devide them up at the end of the summer @Upsydaisy.. I use a sharp knife to cut through them replant the new clumps where you want them.. That way they have the Autumn /winter to get established again.. You can do it in early spring but they usually struggle the first year so not so strong plants..
