So, what's this one?

More coastal pics. I haven't time to look this up but I'm sure someone will know

 

It's Silverweed I think- Potentilla anserina. I didn't know it could grow in coastal areas. I love the leaves, have considered growing it in the garden!

 

I thought it might have been silverweed Liz but I got too many hits when I googled it.

It's as tough as old boots and will take a foothold in loose sand right down to the tideline. It sends out runners all over the place so could be a bit invasive!

 

Think you're right Liz. According to my Roger Phillips it's 'found on all types of soil on roadsides, waste places, dunes and fields.Height around 15cm. The roots can be cooked and eaten. Tea made from the leaves can be drunk to help diarrhoea or bleeding piles.' Charmless but informative.

 

Thanks everyone. It's a pretty little gem with a lovely leaf that might do well in a hanging basket or gravel garden but I think you would need to keep an eye on it.
