Hopefully with pics attached... i see quite a lots of all of them in our new garden (been here since August) and tempted to dig out, but don’t want to miss out on any beautiful blooms either.
The pics are from the raised beds but I’ve seen the plants in other parts too 🤔
Thank you!

  1. Foxglove
  2. Weed
  3. Lychnis chalcedonica - usually a hot pink flower but there’s also a white variety.

The right hand one looks like it might be a rudbeckia.

AiryFairy1 · 30/03/2018 10:19

Hmm the right hand one remains a mystery as I’ve googled both suggestions and neither look the same - my one has pale green kinda furry leaves. I’m not too fussed though as there’s only a few and have packets and packets of seeds needing a home!
I’ll keep the foxgloves though.

Foxglove, geranium, forget me not

stayathomegardener · 30/03/2018 17:15

Foxglove
Geranium
And google Verbascum for the third.

stayathomegardener · 30/03/2018 17:16

Actually more specifically google Verbascum leaves. Lots of different varieties but pretty confident that's it.

The second one, herb Robert, is also known as Stinking Bob.

Harebellmeadow · 03/04/2018 18:58

The third one could also be forget me not

I think the last one might be Stachys
