Weed or not?

[annie8]

Is this a weed? Just popped up in my front garden. One thing about the new site I do find it easier to post pictures.

Look like flowers to me, now they may be wild flowers, but I am encouraging them and sowing seed too, great for our pollinators, which is of course good for our veggie plots and fruit gardens.

Could be something from the Verbascum family.

[annie8]

Mm don’t think I have bought any of those but maybe I wait and see for a bit. Give it a stay of execution for now.

[annie8]

Not sure if helps but that wee plant now has tiny buds on it. Look purple.

I like the look of your little plant.
but don’t know what it is.
Hope you can post another photo when it does more.

[annie8]

So my wee plant is still growing well. Have attached a pic. Does this help with ID?

[mothhawk]

Is it clary sage?

[roitelet]

Or perhaps Salvia Nemorsa. Post another picture when it is in flower please.

I’ve had a bit of a brainwave. Sure I bought a salvia last year which I thought had died. But maybe not. Could it be that. Might still have the label in the greenhouse.

It definitely looks like a salvia of some sort, although I couldn't be sure which species.

[annie8]

Can’t find the label. Will see what it looks like when it grows a bit more. Glad I didn’t pull it out now !

[Containergardener]

I agree . It looks like my salvia

[annie8]

Found the label in the gh. It was a salvia farinacea Victoria. Having some success with that I am wondering whether this is weed. It has popped up at the front too and don’t know if it is something I sowed or not. Looks like a carrot but has small pink flowers.

[roitelet]

Yep, that’s a weed but don’t know the name.
