Now been living on 'the island' 5 months and trying to get my little garden together. I have taken out some massive laurels and other shrubs in my front border - and put this mystery one in a bucket while landscaping the area. Since the warm weather it has grown like crazy and looks very healthy. I am only keeping plants and small shrubs with colour so if this is a semi weed, it will go!

    No pic attached. What's a semi-weed?😊
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    If the pic won’t upload try reducing its size. 

    Edited to say:  🤣 we posted at the same time.

    A semi-weed is perhaps a plant which is delightful in the wild, or in someone else's garden, but you wouldn't want it in your own.  Or it could be something attractive you planted a few years ago when you had space to fill, and has spread over so much of your garden that you rue the day you planted it.

    Photos wouldn't load 1st time so posted them separately.  I have an Astrantia in a big container, just starting to grow (pic appears in loading box but then nothing happens, hence posting separately) the leaves are a different shape. Mystery plant has small bud type appendages forming.

    Sorry - can't get photos to post at all now. Might be my iPad that's the problem!

    Astilbe?

    Wondering if it is Yarrow2. Someone has looked at it and said it is an Asta - is that the same as Astilbe? I can't find anything on internet spelled Asta. (They didn't mean Aster, by the way!)
