Try Rosebay or Rosebay Willowherb (they're the same thing)


Kay, thank you for such a quick answer: I originally thought it was
Rosebay Willowherb but I wasn't at all sure that it had such rhubarb-red

Typically, I can't find any pictures of it when young!

I've now managed to get a picture of it on the internet:

Does this turn into Rosebay Willowherb?

post and its definately one of the willow herbs
