Can anyone help me identify this please!

[Tumblefluff]

No one seems to be able to identify this from my garden, does anyone have any ideas Please?

Should add the closest we've got is some kind of bamboo!

Japanese knot weed?

Looks like a kind of bamboo to me also.

Is it not Ricinis Comunis maybe? Those red leaves look like it could be. Although the canes are quite green and on a red leaved plant I think they'd be more red.

I think it's a rose

My first thought was rose too. Lots of mine have those small red leaves right now and look very similar. It’ll be a few weeks before they green up and look more normal rose like.

The hollow stems and growth pattern make me think it’s Leycesteria Formosa, Pheasant Berry. Self seeds at will but pretty and quick growing. Best cut down in spring an then lots of lovely new growth.

I think a rose too.

Definitely not knotweed.

Not sure about a rose as the stems are hollow.

Pheasant berry looks very good as a match though Beebumble2. There seems to be conflicting opinions on it with a quick Google though. Do I want it?!

I think it’s a pretty plant and easily controlled, but it’s your garden 😊

Definitely looks like Pheasant Berry/Himalayan Honeysuckle to me...

I've always found it easy to control, but it's not really my cup of tea (and to be honest, it's also rather out of fashion these days, not that it really matters) so I dug it up in the end!

I agree with Beebumble2 that it's Leycesteria. See whether you like it when it grows and flowers. I find it very unattractive, but that's just my opinion and you may love it!

Definitely Leycesteria. And I really like it!

Mixed bag of opinions here too then

I'll have another look when it blooms and see what we think. We inherited a very populated garden from the previous owners of our house, and it seems every year we discover something that wasn't there before.

We finally got around to clearing the overgrowth and creating a bit of space this month.

DH is looking for an ID on this one as well if anyone fancies a go!

It's an Arum, Tumblefluff, and looks as though it might be Dracunculus vulgaris! If it is, it has quite a dramatic flower (called a spathe) in dark maroon, and a rather foul smell! Also known as the dragon lily.
