    Which plant are you asking about?
    I wish I was a glow worm
    A glow worm's never glum

    If it's the pink (and possibly the white one as well), l think it's valerian (centranthus).

    Yes, valerian.

    People buy it in shops, so you could give it away, if you fancied. It does self-seed well. Bees love it.

    "Mini Onetime"?

    Hi, it's me again. The predictive text took over. I wanted to type minionette.  It's a very old fashioned plant, seen most often growing on garden walls. My dad loved it. IT reminded him of his childhood.

    Have to admit "mini onetime" is a new one on me!

    Sandra,  I think this is the Mini Onetime (not red valerian). You should patent the name. ;)
