I need help naming this plant please. It's self seeds and I have been cultivating the seedlings and giving them to friends. This is one of the. They spread to about 2 ft and long flower stalks come out of them with round ball like yellow flowers along the spear - blue light flower then stalk for about 6-inches then other ball like flower. Flower spring summer time. when I get home later I will take a picture of the plant actually in my garden. but at friends now and would love to give them a name
-
Probably hollyhock, although they are usually a bit more than 2' tall...
-
I don't think it is hollyhock unless it is a different type than I am used to - here is a picture of the plant -hopefully much easier to identify now
-
Phlomis russeliana?
-
Crikey, it could hardly be less like a hollyhock! :lol:
Will leave the ID to those more, er, fluent in Latin than me (e.g. MoS ;))
-
Brilliant Phlomis russeliana is right - Jay did not give you much to go on in first instance - thanks so much
-
It sure is as I have one too.
-
Does it have a common name ? Mrs B
-
Yes it does - Turkish Sage
-
The leaves look like Echinacea but not the dead flower heads.
Not sure if that helps.

Hi,
Does anyone know what this is ? It doesn't grow very high. It flowered last year but I can't remember the flower colour. Our new garden is full of surprise some better than others!!
Many thanks in advance
Jane

That is Houttuynia cordata :)

Thank you so much for identifying the plant. It is grown in a narrow border at the side of a pond. I understand this is the perfect placement for the plant having now looked it up.
Happy gardening
Jane
