    found this had shot up next to a Dicentra I'd planted a few months ago. Any ideas? Think it's only grown in the last couple of weeks?!?

    We bought these in a hanging basket because they looked really good, but we neglected to ask the name as the label did not say.

    Hi @Jimcub, usually people start a new thread for each ID needed. However, that looks like a petunia to me :)

        @Jimcub, possibly one of the Crazytunia Petunias, there are dozens of new varieties, plant breeders using modern genetics bring new ones out every year as they can virtually 'design' any colour, shape or pattern they like.
