One of the willowherbs - considered a weed in most gardens.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
And strangely also sold in some garden centres...
I had to do a double-take a while back when I saw a white flowered w/herb for sale
Billericay - Essex
Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Very fashionable things, the white willowherbs.
There's a mass of the rosebay w/herb where I walk with my dog, every summer the sight of hundreds in flower is quite a sight - then the seeds start blowing everywhere.
I usually hoe down all the purple toadflax that appears in my garden. This year I've let several clumps grow, and just coming into flower now, and I'm very pleased with them. When they're over in a couple of weeks (and befreo they set seed) I'll replace them with some cosmos I've got in 2L pots
I guess it's a case of when is a weed not a weed? - or vice versa

That plant is a willowherb but it's not Rosebay Willowherb
it might be Broad-leaved Willowherb, Epilobium montanum
In the sticks near Peterborough
It's strange because it's grown in a pot where I had broadleaf thyme? So it's definitely not thyme?
NO

Ok. Lol!
NO
not the slightest chance - willowherb have tiny fluffy seeds which drift on the breeze and grow wherever they settle. You've probably got other ones growing around the place - you'll soon be able to recognise them when they're really small

Haha, I'm glad it's in a pot then!!! Thank you for your help x
