    Local plant stall had these for sale 6 for £1. They looked nice and healthy so I thought why not. The lady mentioned blue flowers I think but I obviously wasn't paying attention and can't remember what they are

    I'm not too sure about blue flowers now - those buds don't look like they will be yielding that colour?

    Nope, can't place it, sorry. If no one else chirps up then post a picture once in flower perhaps?

    I'm probably wrong, but the leaves look like Deadnettle leaves to me.

    The foliage isn't right for asters, and dead nettles look more...stalky?...in the pics I googled.

    Let's see what the flowers look like! It's a mystery..

      Yes! That looks like it's the one - and fits with 'pretty blue flowers'

      Always amazed by how people can id from a photo but glad you did! Thanks!
