Title: Plant identification help?
Post by: Hamani on November 30, 2014, 10:00

Hello guys,

Any chance of a little help identifying a plant?

It's on a neighbors allotment and looks fantastic. Has been in flower all summer. I've not noticed it before this year. The owner doesn't know what it is either.

I've taken some cuttings (with permission). They're in an open air glass cold-frame and have just started showing signs of rooting, after 6-8 weeks.

Any ideas?

- Gary.
