    Hi

    I bought these last week but despite having a label, it doesn't actually tell me what they are! Got the two for £1 :biggrin:

      Hi Yvonne,
      Reckon they could be Lonicera nitida Baggessons Gold and a variegated Cheiranthus (wallflower)

        Thanks Scillonian, I would never have guessed it is a wallflower, I didn't know you can get them in a variegated variety. Mum, I've become a ninja when it comes to combing the bargain corner of garden centres :biggrin:

        [​IMG] Another possibility for this one is a Cranberry... :scratch: They have become quite popular as patio plants..
        Your varigated one could be one of the Silenes, maybe dioica..?

        =====================================

        Don't think this can be Vaccinium (Cranberry) as they have alternate leaves.
        It could be Lonicera as they have opposite leaves
