    Tricky.  Which type of oxalis?  Do you have particular variety names included in the pack?

    Yes . Here's the packet. I got it in a pound shop.

    Thanks Bob. If I could just identify the oxalis, it would be helpful as I assume the others would be about the same height and general shape

    Left to right, my best guess would be tritellia, acidanthera (definite), oxalis, liatris.
    When I first started gardening, I used to buy packs of mixed seed and separate them with a magnifying glass and tweezers! 🔍😁

    Acidanthera need a long season so getting them planted early as possible is good.
    But don't take the word of someone who gets Linum and Linaria mixed up :D:blush:

    First three letters were right though. Your gardening knowledge glass is half full!

    Liatris is the far right.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team
