  It’s not a Knautia of any kind. 
  Looks  like  one of the Nemesias.

  Well that’s not one of the things that was on the list of contents of the lucky dip. So maybe I got an accidental plant.

  Looks like I’ve muddled up my Knautia and nepeta. Didn’t now what either were but I do now. I’ve planted them up as if they were the other way round. 😧😧😧
