Hi, could anyone let me know the name of the pink flowered plant to the left of Adam in the 4th Sept episode while he's planting the tree please?

I think it's Eupatorium (Joe Pye Weed).

At about 47 mins into the program.
I agree Eupatorium purpureum.
Loves moist /damp soil.

I grow it in my bog garden and it can be very thuggish. I need to split it every 2 or 3 years.

I remember thinking - that's Joe Pye weed there!

I don't buy anything with creeping or weed in its name!

Mine is grown in clay soil but it's not what I'd call wet. It's in it's second year but, so far, it's not shown anything like thuggishness.Maybe it'll surprise me next year!
