We found this growing in our garden and not sure what it is. Any ideas please, we live on the south coast I it's any help.
Centranthus ruber aka Red Valerian, Kiss me Quick - loved by butterflies and pollinating insects
Thank you, a weed then?
weed or not is up to you Steve
depends who you are - I love them and allow them to grow but they need to be cut back hard when they get too leggy. fortunately they replace themselves readily, so little work for lots of pleasure if you've got the space.
I love them too, but pull out all but the darkest pink - pale and white ones get the chop - good thing we are all different hey Jo47?
