It was abundant on the railway cuttings and banks of the West Coast
London-Scotland line when we traveled last summer.

It's Rosebay Willowherb. It's very invasive so don't try to encourage
it!

Also available in white


No, you are confusing it with red campion (very similar plant) which is also
has a white form.
Tina


Nope. There's a white form of willowherb. Red campion is nothing
remotely like willowherb.
