Lychnis Coronaria, 'Alba' I think?

not weeds after all then? Thank you

Looks like that to me too,...nice :o)

Think it is white campion, a wildflower, is a form of lychnis, but I have coronaria which has grey slightly furry foliage :-)

I'd agree with Simbad - L. coronaria has much more silvery leaves...that's still worth a place in your garden, though - a pretty flower.

i ist lychnis alba according to one of my wild flower guides. I have it it in one of my more naturalised plantings.

Thank you all for your replies. So good to know that you are all here for novices like me
