Hello,

Does anyone know what this plant is? It has small hairy leaves so likes hot dry conditions.

Thank you

    Some type of Lychnis perhaps?

    The first photo, seedling, I thought Lychnis coronaria, but the mature plants not.

    I agree with Lychnis coronaria and I think the other plant is a cudweed.

    It looks similar to helichrysum Ruby Cluster.

    @Ceres Thankyou so much, that is exactly what I have been trying to think of, knew it had reddish pink flowers and I did wonder if it could be dried but that was as far as I got!
    I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

    Hello All,

    Thank you for responding to my post it is much appreciated. Having checked out all of your suggestions I now believe the plant is Common Cudweed - Filago vulgaris
