Plant Identification

[Cliques]

We cleared some leylandi last year, and amongst the obvious weeds that have sprung up, there are a couple I don’t recognise. Does anyone know what they are?

The purple flowered one looks like Pheasant berry, Leycesteria formosa and the narrow strap like leaf one is some sort of Iridaceae perhaps - like crocosmia, need flowers to be sure.

Thank you, Manzana, you are quite right. It is pheasant berry. Marvellous. I shall keep it. I’ll wait for the others to flower. This garden was hugely overgrown when we moved here, it’s wonderful finding all the hidden treasures underneath

It is lovely to discover what is growing in a new garden

My money's on crocosmia for the first one.

Let us know if it flowers!

WIll do! I knew mumsnet would have the answers. Thank you
