    Hi all, just wondered if anyone could help me ID 2 plants. I purchased 12 perennials from an Internet supplier last year, they have all come through lovely but I don't know what they are or what to do once the plant has flowered.

    Here's the first one, it started to flower in may and has just stopped, it was like a starburst of smal pink flowers that were around 1.5cm:

    Here's the second, I have 2 varieties, one with white flowers and one with mauve flowers:

    Many thanks for your help...

    I'd say the pink one is Lychnis viscaria and the white one is Campanula persicifolia 'Alba'.

    Thank you, really appreciate that, now I know to cut them back after they have flowered.
    Cheers

    The last one is rather a white cultivar of Campanula medium
