I brought some perennials last Fall and planted them and this Spring when they came up this plant is not what I ordered and would like someone to identifier this plant. It has allot of small white flowers on it.
Unknown Perennial
It looks like a clematis. Please post a close-up photo of the flower. Thanks.
This is the best I can do.
No it is not a clematis as far as I know. It is only about 15 to 20 inches off the ground. It's been in bloom for about a month now.
Are the flowers purple?
NO They white and only white.
I have them in my garden and they are a flowering weed. I just pull them out. Maybe your plant died over the winter and never came up?
Sorry, I thought the purple flowers were the ones in question.
Looks like some kind of silene or catchfly.
Yes, possibly Silene noctiflora (since the flowers appear to close during the day?)
I found one of those (weeds) plants under my pine tree. Here it is.
My grandmother called them bladder weeds. I would pull it out, but if you like it, keep it. One person's weed is another person's native plant. I think lynchnis aka Silene coronara (?sp) is a similar but much prettier plant. The foilage is pretty even when not flowering.
I am sorry that I set my potted Mediterranean purslane near the garden. It dropped seeds like crazy! I grew it again this year because I like to add the peppery flavor to salads. The pot is sitting on the sidewalk this time!

That looks like the samething I have.
What did you do with your's?
I left this one alone. Its under our pine tree,not in my garden. If you like it,keep it. I pull them out if they are in the garden.
I agree with Tipsy. I've seen it growing wild. It's in the silene/catchfly family. It does not seem to be particularly rampant. Growing wild, it seems Io stay in small clumps.
I believe it is Silene latifolia var. alba. It is native to Europe and has naturalized in many states.
