Hi, I had a Bouganville, which I lost last year, it only lasted about 18 months :o( In the pot this weed has grown (first photo in pot) but I have no idea what it is. Have let it grow to see what happens...does anyone have any ideas?

Also, does anyone know what the other weed is (second photo of pulled weed)...this grows in certain pots but I just keep pulling out.

Thank you

The first one looks like rosebay willowherb. Don't let it flower!

They are weeds, so kills them. Did you keep the bougainvillea in a heated greenhouse/conservatory all winter?

Hi

Thank you all for the replies.

How would all the weeds grow in a pot...the ones in the pot aren't anywhere else in the garden. I'll just get rid of them...will also get rid of the soil just in case. As for the 2nd one...the one on the cushion does anyone have any ideas on that.

The Bougainville...I only kept it in the pot in the garden in a very sunny hot sheltered area. I live in Essex and last year it was really hot...I got flowers on the plant, and was rally pleased...then it died because of the cold...it was my fault :o(

I was really pleased to get the replies...I don't know too much about gardens so it's nice to get some help.
