    I am always getting rogue seedlings in my pots, some more welcome than others. In this pot I propagated some bergenia from cut pieces of tuber and that's the bright green rounded leaves at the back but this other plant has sprung up in the front. Any idea what it is please? thanks

    I'm going to answer my own query! As this has gotten bigger it started looking more and more like buddleja which I think it is. I thought the leaves were different but as it's grown it's looked more like it.
