How to tell E. fleischeri from E. latifolium (the latter is now Chamerion latifolium)?  Web pics looks similar to me.

There seems to be broader, non-serrated (entire) leaves on the form of E. latifolium that occurs here:

Googled Epilobium fleischeri and yes that's it and it's hardy so that's a bonus as I kept it in my greenhouse last year not knowing what it was. I put it out in the summer and it has flowered for such a long time and  it has lots more flowers to come.

I can now give the plant a label and most of all I have found out it's requirements. It's well worth having.

Thanks everyone for the ID.  I have been trying to find out names for all the plants I keep in pots.

I'd agree with Epilobium fleischeri - looks like the plant I have seen in the mountains.  Would love some seed if any is available.

Hi

Near E.fleischeri, you should perhaps also take E.dodonaei in consideration, which somehow superficially really looks like it.

Tony got some fluffy seeds today...pm with your address if you still want.

Philippe thanks for your suggestion. I think it is F.fleischeri , well as far as I can see.

Dianthus microlepis?  Dianthus glacialis perhaps... ?
An aside... Does anyone know of a good source that shows range maps of northern European species?
