Title: No Label!
Post by: JohnnyD on May 20, 2013, 10:45:56 AM

Just bought this from a local bits-n-bobs shop who sell small number of plants.
Sadly - no label ???
It looks like it might want wet conditions.
Any help appreciated.

Johnny's plant raises a question with me about a plant I thought was a Mazus, in a friend's garden.
 It has Scrophulariceae/Phrymaceae type flowers , quite strong pink , coming into flower soon  but the foliage is quite sturdy in texture ( leathery) and evergreen - one might almost think it some sort of Penstemon, but I'm pretty sure it is not - what might it be?
