Another Plant ID please

Hi all,

Anyone know if this a sweet pea or a weed?? Very novice in gardening, had planted a sweet pea in this spot last year, all died off over winter and now not sure if it has come back or if a weed....mumsnet never let me down yet in gardening so throwing it out again to you experts😊

Certainly not an annual sweet pea. There is a perennial sweet pea but I don’t think the leaves are like this. Looks more like a weed.

Possibly oxeye daisy - your choice as to whether it's a weed or a flower 🤷‍♀️

Definitely not a sweet pea I’m afraid. There are two types of sweet pea, one will come back every year (this is what’s known in gardening terms as a ‘perennial’ plant) and one will die in the winter (known as an ‘annual’), you have to plant new seeds or plants every year. The way to tell the difference is scent. If last year’s sweet peas smelt lovely, they were annuals and won’t come back. The perennial ones don’t smell but will come back (and are much more expensive at the garden centre).

Mustard Greens!

Dunno what it is but it’s not a sweet pea!

Ox eye daisy, big white daisy like flowers. A UK wild flower but well worth keeping.

There are two plants known as sweet pea. One is the scented sweet peas we all know. They die off at the end of the season and have to be sown afresh each year. The other is the perennial sweet pea which regrows each spring but is unscented.

Once again, mumsnet to the rescue. Great answers here. If it is an ox eye daisy then I'll definitely keep it, thanks all for the help and advice, really appreciate it😁

This is what the ox-eye daisies in my garden look like now in case that helps?
