Talking This has been bugging me for a while now...

A plant grew in my garden that i don't remember planting. During spring it started to come up. I assume i planted it last year as a perennial but i don't remember.

It is about 2.5ft tall. The tiny flowers were pink to start with but are fading white.
It is not a bush. It has lots of separate upright stems. It would flop over but i have a support on it.



Can anyone tell me what it is?

It could be one of the new Japanese flowering plants that just seem to appear in random places

Looks like a fuschia to me. I have "received" a few things this year which I have never planted; a buddleia, 2 red hot pokers and various other shrubs. Birds generally are very good at depositing seeds for mother nature, so if things look OK and aren't weeds, I'd see it as a bonus!

I had a load of soil delivered which i mixed all around the garden so maybe it a noob. I had fuschias last year and this looks nothing like they did and it has no scent.
My red hot poker has already been and gone but i have two just about to flower. They were planted at the same time last year

I don't think it is a fuschia, but looks like one, er, a bit! Could have been in the soil. Is it OK where it is? Then leave it.

I actually bought a red hot poker as well this year, but could have just moved the "bonus" 2 I received if I'd known!

It is in my woodland garden. It had about 50 thin tall stems with the tiny flowers on top. it looks nice but i don't know what it is

I got my pokers last year and left one in the ground and put one in a pot for the winter. the one i left in the ground has just finished flowering. It had one spike. The other one that i put in a pot, i replanted it in the spring and it now has two spikes just beginning to grow. It has confused me
