Can you help me ID the following three plants? One is a grass I think, the others could be weeds or wildflowers the children planted.

The third one looks like a buddleia, do you have any cleared pictures of the first two?

Stickyjack · 08/05/2020 20:53

The first is a sedge if some sort, can't remember the name right now. The third is indeed a buddleia. Not sure on the second, but pictures that are in focus would help.

Thank you! Sorry, photos were in focus but weren’t big enough - new ones attached!

Have googled Buddleia - you are absolutely right. I’ll have to move it as it looks like they can grow quite big and it’s managed to get huge in front of my nicest hydrangeas.

The last two photos are the same plant. They have popped up everywhere in my shadiest bed.

Last 2 are feverfew, methinks.

FiddlefigOnTheRoof · 08/05/2020 22:46

You’re a genius. Thank you so much. They look like they will be very sweet so I will let them be!

Yup, first one is indeed a sedge, probably Carex pendula ( Weeping or Pendulous Sedge), second is Feverfew and, in your first set of pictures, the third one is Buddleia

tilder · 08/05/2020 22:54

I thought feverfew too. Pretty little daisy like flowers. The first is a grass that sprouts from bird seed. Gets big and spreads. I would get rid before it sets seed! Unless you like grasses.

FiddlefigOnTheRoof · 09/05/2020 06:26

Thanks all - really grateful!

Re sedge, thanks Tilder, that makes sense. I’ll leave where it is in our shady patchy borders, and remove it from our sunny border.

I don't know what it is but the first one is in my potion and nothing and I mean nothing will kill it. Every year I battle with it, I cut it, I feed it weed killer I try to dig it out but still it comes. Third one is a Buddlia, beautiful and attract loads of butterflies in summer.

There's no buddleia in the third picture! And it wouldn't be in flower anyway. Third picture is feverfew, possibly a rather twiggy hydrangea, then the pink flower belongs to the leaves in the background, I think wallflower.

I’ll leave where it is in our shady patchy borders, and remove it from our sunny border. It's an enthusiastic seeder. Probably best to cut the flowers off once the seeds begin developing.

@MereDintofPandiculation it's the third picture of the OP not the update.

FiddlefigOnTheRoof · 09/05/2020 18:25

Meredint, you are spot on with the flowers in the background of the feverfew! We know those ones (planted them). Poor hydrangea is not doing very well.

pinkywoo see what you mean. Could be buddleia. Could be a labiate.
