Had this plant self seed into the garden and would love to know what it is so I can plant more, it looks good and the bees absolutely love it.

Is it salvia

Ooh I have this pop up everywhere too. Please can someone tag me when they know what it is? 😚

It's Purple Toadflax (Linaria purpurea)

Yes its toadflax and quite a weed! Self sows everywhere!

Thanks tiggrx, at least I know what it is now, and even if it is a bit of a weed the wildlife seem to love it so I think it can stay. I quite like the purple too ☺️.

The bees do love it @cottagegardendave - so I'm happy for it to be in my garden too 😊
