Title: What plants are these?
Post by: Goosegirl on July 17, 2020, 17:15

I have two plants in my garden. I think one is a Euphorbia but don't know the other one. It has a thick woody base that's sprawled horizontally with the growth showing on the tips of the branches.

I agree with the first, is the second one possibly, a Ling type heather.   Just the surrounding plants look as if it might be that type of bed.     Mrs Bouquet

#1, more chance of it being an Euphorbia, I suppose, but it could possibly be a young Oleander.
#2 could be Hyssop, I can't see the form of the flowers clearly in your pic.
