  • Question

    I've found this plant in growing in quite a shady part of my garden, it looks familiar but I can't work out what it is using some online tools, any clues would be great as I do like the look of it.

    Answer

    Dear rych1981, good morning. I'm sorry I'm unable to help you with your plant identification question. Location is very important information for identification because there are nearly 500,000 species of plants in the world and we narrow down the choices by using the area the plant comes from (a given region may only have a couple of thousand species, depending on the size of the region in question). If you can provide the location, I may be able to help or at least direct you to a place that can answer your question. Best wishes.
