  Couldn't let it go. I've been out staring at Lychnis coronaria. It's much furrier than it was in my mind and my vote is for that

  If that's what Nut says it is, not being one to change my mind, I think it's what Nut says, don't know but she gets my vote  

  Well done H & A.

  Oh nut - were we making you doubt yourself?  

  I wasn't 100% sure that it was Stachys, although it had a look of it, but  I'm not overly familiar with Lychnis.

  If nut says it's Lychnis....well, she's rarely wrong Jess! I'm off to google it now

  Thanks everyone. Can't wait to see how it behaves in June, nut!

  I'm off to google Lychnis too now

  I thought about Stachys, but throne I have already in the ground, is very silver compared to this one.

  Thanks fidget - you have quite an array! Can't ask the person who gave it to me, gardening granny, because she was an old lady who passed away.
