Good evening everyone! Who doesn't love the lovely #purple flowers of the Great Willowherb? Are they a #weed or #wildflower to you? 😀

In my garden it entirely depends where they appear but plenty are allowed the remain. A really beautiful plant.

They can stay untill they've finished flowering as soon as the seed comes there gone

@tiggrx - I'm similar Aaron, I don't like pulling them out really though as the bees and hoverflies seem to love them! 😀

@carolgs - I actually like the seeds as they're quite photogenic subjects, although I don't let all of the plants go to seed! 😀
