        Do you know Michael that's what I initially thought too, only trouble is I never sow any as they just self seed.

              OK thanks it seems Verbascum gets the vote and as I said earlier the name does ring a bell with me.

              So presuming it is then should I go ahead and plant them out now or wait until Spring ?

              Thanks for your help everyone, much appreciated indeed.:ThankYou: X
