    Hello everyone ...I'm new to this website but I'm confident someone will be able to help me. I have no idea what this is and have never even seen it anywhere else. That may be due to my short-sightedness of course! :hehe:

    It looks like Lychnis coronaria to me too. Its a biennial or short lived perennial, and flowers for a long time. I have still got some flowers on mine.
