Had several of these start to thrive towards the end of summer. Possibly from a wild seed mix. Any ideas? – England

    Could be Cosmos, there’s some Echium and Lobularia (AKA Alyssum) in the bottom left corner.

    You get all kinds of stuff in ‘wild seed mixes’ and the like, mostly non-natives, garden forms of native species or non-native genotypes of native species. You wouldn’t buy a pack of ‘mixed vegetable seeds’ or ‘mixed herbaceous perennial seeds’, I don’t understand why people think that being a native species puts it in a weird separate category to other garden plants.
