My daughter has this growing on her garden which looks like a euphorbia to me or is it a wild spurge (same plant?). She's next to a field so has lots of weeds! Many thanks.

@Lizzie27 I wondered if it might be a linaria. If it is euphorbia wear gloves and snap a small piece of stem, the sap is milky and an irritant.
The most serious gardening I do would seem very strange to an onlooker,for it involves hours of walking round in circles,apparently doing nothing. Helen Dillon.
You can trim them back in the autumn or early spring and you'll get fresh new leaves. You have a lovely specimen there.
In London. Keen but lazy.

@Lizzie27 There are some lovely colours, peach, pink, white but the purple is by far the dominant colour. The other colours are short lived and Peachy doesn't set seed at all for me. I think it might be sterile.

Linaria x purpurea peachy.....a perennial!
Linaria 'Peachy' is a sterile hybrid toadflax, crossed between yellow Linaria dalmatica and purple Linaria purpurea.
