Someone on our local Next door site is asking if this is a weed. I haven't a clue, any ideas? The picture isn't great though.

Reminds me of several different plants but not enough detail in the photo. If its in the wrong place, I'm guessing its a weed. Could be Willow
herb? https://www.wildfooduk.com/edible-wild-p...illowherb/
Possibly Purple Loosestrife.

Whoever posted the photo didn't give away much info, I've never let willowherb grow that big so I don't recognise it. Thanks Veggie I'll pass on the possibility.

Looks like it could be linaria purpurea. Pops up all over my garden - but useful for cutting, so I leave it be.

Toadflax for me too. Bees love it but it self seeds all over, not too hard to pull out though.

My Manchester daughter has acquired a couple of plants and would like to know what they are before planting out so she can find out how big/hardy etc they are, I haven't a clue with a lot of flowers.

The first one could be almost anything, even calendula.
The second one is a Sedum spectabile https://www.gardenersworld.com/how-to/gr...ow-sedums/
