Please help me identify the pink perennial in front ... Is this Salvia Friesland or dwarf Butterfly bush like one of the Miss Moly or Holy? Please advise. Your expertise is greatly appreciated. the plant is also shown in the back in front of the daisies. Thank you for your help and expertise. :-) Eva

    It's a Lythrum of some sort. It could possibly be Lythrum virgatum 'Morden Pink' or a similar variety. If you look closely, you can see that the individual flowers have the wrong shape to be a Salvia of any kind.

    I agree with Danita
