Your mystery plant looks familiar but no name has come to mind as yet. Is it scented?

Sadly, the plants don't usually last long here. I planted some during winter but they've mostly died out already. I can't name your mystery plant but it looks like a good filler if you can keep it under control.Kris Petersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07097260283693156795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059858774072695860.post-73724013481947261102017-05-29T16:26:07.851+01:002017-05-29T16:26:07.851+01:00My earliest garden memories involve Sweet William ...My earliest garden memories involve Sweet William in my grandfather's garden.

Yours look particularly good in the second vase with the honeysuckle and parsley, but your rose comesa close second! Don't know about your mystery plant - the leaves look familiar but not in combination with the flowers - sorry... Hopefully someone will recognise it. A thiggish border certainly sounds interesting!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5059858774072695860.post-25406450753847155802017-05-29T13:14:39.820+01:002017-05-29T13:14:39.820+01:00Sweet William is among my favorite flowers.
