Its now in the garden. this path has been cleared to show the lovely block pathing that hubby did for us years ago.

clever hubby
wish mine would decide how he wants our path
we just have a muddy strip at present where we/I walk

oh i have those too. it was to provide hard standing for bikes etc.

ive this one sea does it grow bigger each year

Bet you were mixing them up with rutabega, Mookins...I used to! Sounds similar! Rutabega IS a vegetable!
I cannot grow these, dunno why....I have a garden averse to daisy-esque flowers like rudbekias and echinacea. Very annoying! The only happy daisy-like flowers I can manage are the big white chrysanths ( who's proper name I always forget! )
Any advice, Sea?

aaah...i thought i was losing my marbles
thanks Bscott

is it a chrysanth or the large shasta type daisy, luecanthemum in the renaming.

yes they clump up year on yearsanbaz, but dont get taller.

I think they may be leucanthemum, Sea...sounds very familiar. I still call them chrysanths!

oh thats great, as long as i get more :o)

I had to dig a clump up as they were spreading rather TOO much, Sandra!

ok i will keep an eye on them for future , cant have them taking over, my raised bed isnt big enough for that

Great plant, though!

yes its very striking, love it
