While clearing out my nettle patch I came across some mysterious weeds I've not seen before, and was wondering if anyone could help me out and tell me what they might be?
This plant has got big rough leaves that smell kind of fresh and woody when you rub them. It also has three clusters of really tiny but dark pink/purple flowers. At first I though it could be something like a foxglove but the flowers are far too small and only at the top of the plant.
This one is really invasive and is taking over the entire side of my hedge. It's leaves are medium to large sized but very dark and glossy. It's just about finished flowering now but was covered with medium-sized star shaped purple flowers.
Another invasive one that's taken over my hedge. It's leaves are medium sized again but nowhere near as dark or glossy. The entire bush is covered with clusters of tiny bell-shaped pink flowers.
Any ideas, guys?
I don't really want to get rid of them because they're pretty and the bees just love them to bits, so hoping if I know what they are might be able to at least tame them a little.
