    Plant identification needed

    Hi Everyone

    I bought this plant from the bargain bucket at my local garden centre. All it said was that it was a perennial.

    Can anyone id this for me please?

    Thanks

    Hmmm *scratches head* have a look at helichrysum varieties and see if any match.
    Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

      I think it's Senecio greyi, Brachyglottis greyi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

        You beat me to it, Martin
        Just what I was going to suggest - aka Daisy bush with yellow flowers.

          That's the one. A lot of front gardens round here grow it.

              Can anyone identify this? I'm not sure if it's a flower or a weed, but it's popping up all round my flower beds. It's around 6 inches (at the moment) with distinctive purple marks on the leaves. The leaves are in clusters of 3 and 4.

                  Its an Oxalis - often sold as tiny corms/tubers in garden centres/pound shops. Should have pink flowers.

                    Thanks Fleurisa and VC - it looks quite pretty so I'll leave it.

                      Once you've got it it's really hard to get rid of, so you might as well enjoy it.
