Thanks Nicola. I total novice on this site as yet, so only just discovered your response. I will now look to try to find 'social media'. (Don't suppose you might offer some suggestions as to why my tomatoes (in greenhouse) haven't ripened!)
Best wishes...Pat

Hi Pat, several suggestions on our social media that this is in fact Lysimachia clethroides (Gooseneck loosestrife). I hope that helps!

I have a plant that looks like it might be this, but the spikes are always drooped over. Does this happen to anyone else? (Or have I got a different plant?)

Veronicastrum trouble

Hi, Lorna,
Veronicastrum like moist, well-drained soil, preferably in full sun. As long as they looked good all summer, I would think they were in the right position. Typically, the old leaves of Veronicastrum turn brown after flowering (which is pretty much this time of year). Turning black could indicate a fungal problem. Regardless, cut the plant down to new basal growth and destroy the dead cuttings. Next year, you can spray the plants with a fungicide if you notice the problem early in the growing season. If it is a fungus, this will prevent its spread.

I have several of these in my garden chosen by a garden planner so hopefully suitabley positioned. However the leaves on a few of them have suddenly gone black but the stems are still green. Any ideas what has happened?
