    I was given a margarine tub of perennials by a friend at work the other day, but neither of us know what they are (with the exception of one), so ID's please ladies and gents:

      Geranium? Then as you say, lavender, then some sort of daisy?or a dahlia seedling? Then verbena bonariensis? Then a tradescantia and a mallow?

        1. Delphinium possibly.
        4. Verbena?
        The last one is a member of the geum family i think. Could be the dreaded geum urbanum though! (Wood aven)

        Number four looks rather like Salvia guaranitica but as it is rather rare for it to self seed it could well be Verbena.
        Number 5 looks like it may be Penstemon heterophylus.

        I don't think these self seeded - as far as I know, they were purchased, and I have a feeling they were from T&M.... would this listing match?
        • Aquilegia 'Swan' Mixed - An abundance of large flowers on upright, multi-branched stems Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 25cm (10").
        • Geum 'Blazing Sunset' - Fully double, large scarlet blooms are borne over a long period in summer. Height and spread: 60cm (24").
        • Carnation 'Ever-blooming Mixed' (Hardy) - Richly fragrant blooms that are ideal for cutting. Height and spread: 30cm (12").
        • Lavender 'Munstead'' - This neat, compact variety of English lavender bears masses of dark purple-blue flower spikes. Height: 45cm (18"). Spread: 60cm (24").
        • Delphinium 'Pacific Giants' - Excellent for adding structure and presence to the back of borders. Height: 150cm (60"). Spread: 75cm (30").
        • Leucanthemum x superbum 'White Knight' - Pure white single flowers are produced in constant supply throughout summer.

        Falls at the first hurdle as I can't see any Aquilegia.
