    Hi Nikki

     

    Definately a euphorbia. Just be very careful if you prune it as a white sap that can be s skin iritant,msonwerar gloves

    I think it's linaria too for what it's worth (I'm no expert).  I have it in my garden and agree that it's a useful plant to have for the same reasons as Shrinking Violet.

    Ooooh!  I can't wait!  I want to see pictures of the plant in flower.  I'm very happy to be wrong - but I have L. Purpurea all over the place, and I have to say that the leaves really do look like that, rather than Euphorbia. 

    The Jury is out - time will tell when the flowers are in full bloom.  (For what it's worth, mine are already in out).

    Well I think I'm going to make a woodland garden also out the front, I have so much space and put all my eutrophic (if that's the right word) there image

    I think the consensus is linaria and I have no doubt of that at all. More of a sun plant than a woodland plant
