Hello, sorry, don't know why this has come up sideways! Does anyone know what this is please?  I grew them from seed, but neighbours' cats have a tendency to walk over my seed trays in my limited garden and knocked over the trays and I lost the labels.  I know they are pollinator friendly, so as they are doing well in the clay soil, I'd like to grow some more if I knew what they were.  Thanks

    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    I have grown L peachy and L Dial Park in the past both beautiful but short lived. 
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    They self-seed like crazy so if you like them you'll soon have plenty.
    Mostly they're purple, but I also bought L. Canon Went which is a pink variety.
    They come up all over my garden and I just pull them out where I don't want them.
    Many consider them weeds, but they are lovely plants that need no care
