Hello,
does anybody know what this is please? It does not have any scent and the leaves feel a bit prickly and fuzzy. 
Thanks for any ideas.

    it reminds me a bit like verbena bonarensis, maybe the lemon verbena.

    A verbena of some kind, but we'd need a photo of the whole thing to see the habit of growth. V. bonariensis is a tall, upright plant, and there are shorter versions of it too.
    I thought lemon verbena had smoother foliage   :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    I think it's a Verbena bonarensis, too.  Probably a late germinator which hasn't grown enough to flower this year.
    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Thank you all very much. I have a verbena bonarensis in the garden so maybe it has self seeded. I did not recognise it.

    Maybe Verbena hastata.
    How can you lie there and think of England
