    I grow them just for the Mullein caterpillars, they don’t start on them until the flowers are almost over so I don’t mind. 

    My Phlox have never been slug chewed, that’s a shame @Fire

    The caterpillars ate mine before the flowers came out properly.

    I've kept my mullien in pots so far and have had to put the destroyed phlox back in pots. Some umbellifers are too far gone to know what they were.

    @Busy-Lizzie I think those plants look too big to transplant successfully ... but if some little ones appear Id be interested 😊

    OK @Dovefromabove. There may be others. I'll tell OH. You could go and dig some up.

    Definitely the same plant I had 2 summers ago, popped up in a plastic pot I had in the border. The root then broke up the pot when I tried to remove it. I’ve found baby plants overwintering and transferred it to another part of the border to see how it goes now.
