  • Long shot on flower id please

    Yes we already know I am a tool - I really should have a pic, but unfortunately I don't

    In my friends garden there is a really nice flowering plant but they don't know what it is. I just thought there might be a skinny, skinny chance if I describe it some one might think it sounds like something they have come across. (I can always hope)

    So starting from the bottom if you think of a lime green/yellow heuchara - not so much the leaf shape but the size of leaf and just that low rounded mound. Then out of that are slim (a few mm round) stems going up 2-3ft with a single pink cosmos like flower.

    They are perennial and are growing in full sun and seem drought tolerant as they are in a 10cm gap between the house and a path and are not watered.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you as always

    A Japanese anemone?

      That seems like a good bet especially if it is flower now.

          Well done, Thelma. I was struggling with this one!
          I have a clump of pink Japanese Anenomes, in a shady patch beneath a tree. Once established they spread quite quickly. Love them and wouldn't be without them. There are white ones too................must get some

              You can get pretty double ones as well. I love the seed heads to - like little balls of cotton wool.

                The only other one I can think of is a Geum which can be red orange and yellow. not sure if any other colours. If you look up pictures of Japanese anemone and geum you may recognise it.

                  ^^^TY. I am familiar with geum so can rule that out. From googling it is def. Japenese anemone but I can't find the exact one.

                    If it is a Japanese Anemone beware some are rather invasive.
