Hi GG, number 1 definitely not min. My sister has confirmed that plant 1 gets tall and has yellow flowers on it. She said does seem to spread but easy to dig up. Would this be ok to leave in my shrub border or will it smother other things?
Hi Sue.. if your sister says that it is yellow and spreads it could well be loosestrife. My advice would be to remove it now unless it is in a spot where it will be contained without becoming a nuisance. It's your call.
I'd a second Lysimachia Punctata (Yellow Loosestrife) for no.1 based on the picture and description. I have it in several places in my garden. I love the colour and height however you do need to keep your eye on it as it does spread. I dig mine up every other year, divide and replant. Any other places it shows up it gets gets oiked straight oucare careful where you discard any roots......!

Could 1 be Lysimachia?

haha sorry - didnt realise Lysimachia and Loosestrife were the same thing...
I'd leave the Yellow Loosestrife in Sue. It has a long flowering time, easy to grow and can easily be kept in check.
Apparantly plant no 1 has yellow daisy like flowers on it.
Plant 2 appears to have sprouted new leaves, I guess it might actually be another plant that hitched a ride... here's a photo
The large spotty leaf is the new one... any idea what this is?
That's a pulmonaria Sue
In the sticks near Peterborough
Oh just realised, its just a healthier leaf of the same plant!
Oops
