A willowherb of sorts, I think.

JasmineTeacup · 15/07/2021 16:20

Himalayan balsam, I think, or some other species of Impatiens.

i don't think so (though thank you).

the flowers are more sweet-pea-like (split in half)

The flowers aren't in focus so difficult to see properly. It looks like a willowherb to me, but I couldn't be sure.

TwoYearsSince · 15/07/2021 16:27

thank you all.
unfortunately it is himalayan balsam I think :(

let the bashing begin!

Is it smelly? Himalayan balsam is smelly.
Definitely bash it if it's HB.

TwoYearsSince · 15/07/2021 18:10

I hope it was smelly because it's gone now!!!

it lifted up out of the ground very easily - shallow wide roots.

The roses and fuscia look very relieved.
