I met a lovely lady today who would be delighted if anyone could name her plant for her. It's hardy and a lovely one...when its flowers open, they are daisy-shaped and yellow. Thanks, GOY-ers!

I'm so sorry - I didn't touch them! So I don't know the leaf texture. The leaves are almost marbled, and just beautiful. The whole plant is about 2'6" tall.

I think that is completely gorgeous, especially with the alchemilla at its feet. Might have to get one! Lovely x

I've already found a Nursery that has them! :-) Not until the spring, now, though, as mail order has stopped for the summer. ;-(
