No1. is Kerria also known as Butterball a-a

clueless, i too love borage, it lasts ages, has beautiful flowers and attracts bees to my garnden. i started off with only one a couple of years ago, it came in a mixed seed pack my daughter had from b&q we didnt know what it was and at the rate it grew (it was bigger than her at one point)she...

I thought the last picture looked like philadelphus too. You can cut them right back although I agree that isn't usual, I did it through desperation one year after several branches were damaged and I was amazed at how well the plant grew back.

Next time i go past that house im well gona want to run into their garden and take a picture...

Id gladly swap it for one

Very gardenworthy it looks, too.

It attracts hawkmoths so its a stayer in my garden

Silver surfer. Thank you
