Would anyone happen to know what these might be please, bought them off the Internet and they were sold to me as climbing strawberry plants, I'm not so sure, haven't seen a strawberry on it, they went into flower and produced these seeds, any advice would be greatly appreciated
I bought them as seeds and unfortunately I left good feedback too! Live and learn I guess, thank you very much for the advice, i will rehome it in the bin
I planted a variety of seeds and know I never bought any betony, but the labels I wrote washed off so couldn't identify what was what. other uncertain ones were this
Gazanias are one of those plants that either look fantastic or completely crappy. To get the best out of them you need: sandy, well-drained soil; full sun; mild winter climate (unless you treat them as annuals); regular dead-heading. If that sounds like a lot of trouble stick to something easier. On the plus side, in perfect conditions ( S Africa) you can have them flowering 6 months of the year. Good gardening! - Ian
I agree with Hazel there find some where sunny and keep dead heading them. I give mine rose feed and they certainly blossom. Hazel yours look amazing may I say what green fingers there you put me to shame.

Damn phone would only let me upload one at a time sorry
It's a 'weed' - one of the labiatae family, possibly Betony.
Did you buy it from ebay or similar? Did you buy it as a plant or seeds?

I think your climbing strawberry is nepeta cataria....catnip.
Now I'm sure I have catnip in my seed collection so I'm pretty sure you are right,
thank you very much ? Kudos to you
