Can anyone identify this plant? It has clusters of pink flowers from
single stems

It's been there some time, but is the first time it has flowered. I'm
sure I never planted it.

Looks like Phlox paniculata.

You are lucky, I've tried twice to get that to grow for me and it's failed
both times.

Bob, I shall be digging up a clump of pink phlox from my allotment
this autumn. Would you like a piece? I'm giving up my allotment and
don't have room for all of it in my garden.
It's named either Sandfingham or Balmoroa!

Hi Dave,

Looks to me like a Phlox, this is a perennial plant and comes into flower at this point in the season. They are lovely and come in a huge range of colours! So don't dig it up!!!

Hi dave, definantly a Phlox panniculata, bend over and smell it ?? The scent always reminds me of my old boarding school - just like the polish used on the wooden floors !! Smell is one of the strongest memory triggers I think ??
