    This one is a Potentilla and looks like the dreaded Creeping Cinquefoil (Potentilla reptans) but doesn't creep or sends seeds all over the place. It's impeccably well behaved and spreads gently without causing a nightmare. The flowers are a deep pink (unfortunately not in bloom yet) but when it is, has deep pink petals.

    Am struggling to find a variety that has the same foliage and flowers. An ID would be most apprecaited :love30:

    This shrub. Can't ID it either and it looks magnificent. Gone from a tiny plant in someone's garden to this beauty in a couple of years :spinning:

      think you are right, the Potentilla looks like a cultivated variety, you will have to wait until it flowers to match up with the variety.

      The second is Erysimum linifolium variegatum.
