The web address of the Gardening board has now been changed from https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/greenfingered-moneysaving to https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/categories/gardening so that it is in line with the board's current name. Don't worry though, the old address will still redirect you here, but it's worth updating it in your saved links or browser favourites.

It's in full sun on chalky soil - droops after a day or two without rain - stems are very hairy - leaves silky/hairy - bit like a nettle but no sting ............can anyone put a name to it please?

The flowers look like figwort. The leaves don't look like the one I know but there are a lot of different ones.0

My figwort is variegated and nothing like that, but the flowers are distinctive.
A very boring plant from our POV, but the insects think otherwise.0
