      Why thank you Natalie and welcome. I'd be more inclined to say I simply plant something and if it grows, i've done something right, if it doesn't grow, it wasn't worthy of the space anyway lol.

      Jenny, my label says Leucanthemum X superbum Old Court, but it's also known as X superbum Beaute Nivelloise and x superbum Shaggy.

        I done a bit of digging yesterday, literally, and found the label was buried. It was indeed a Helianthus "Cosmic Whisper".

        Too late this year but if anyone does want one, i can split next year after it's died down and put one of the whatever you call it's in the post.

          Glad you got to the bottom of the hole mystery with the label, Scorpio :dbgrtmb:

          Gorgeous Leucanthemum! Never heard of that before, definately one for my wish list.

              OK Mum, noted. May need to remind me sort of this time next year though.
