Identify those perennials, part 3

You asked for more (well, Agatha did!):D


1. Rudbeckia 'Goldquelle'. It's a tall one, but currently in a pot as the slugs were enjoying it!


2. Achillea, but can't remember the variety - tall yellow flowers.


3. Day Lily 'Stella d'oro'. The slugs nibble it until it gets taller


4. Leucanthemum 'May Queen'

 

the 4th one is a daisy of some sort, I will go for ox eye daisy

 

2. Achillea millefolium
4. Leucanthemum vulgare
And very little slug damage around here so it didn't help much...

 

Only two guesses?

 

1 astrantia
2 pyrethrum?
Wild guesses a-go go!

 

It amounted to three brave persons with Victoria's guesses who dare say anything now... :p

Would you like to hear some wild, random ones as well? They might work just as well! :rotfl:

 

I was just admitting that mine were wild guesses. I'm been on such a steep learning curve since I started gardening that I'm reaching for Mars!

 

It's always best to learn to swim in deep waters, isn't it?

I really hope you didn't misunderstand me, I merely meant that all I could add to my list would be wild guesses, nothing more... Please excuse my funny phrasing, I'm a non-English speaker....

 

You would never have known Agatha. Your written English is excellent

 

Forums are a bit like texting aren't they. Sometimes the 'tone' doesn't come across when it is read. I just wanted to make sure you realised I was commenting on my guessing, not suggesting everyone was.

Aren't we a polite lot!?

(I think sometimes I must come across as a complete nutter, I'm not sure my sense of humour translates all the time. Especially as I am usually typing on my touch phone key pad and making hundreds of mistakes while sorting the kids out with the other hand!)

 

Results are now posted. Well done Marley - 3 out of 4:D

 

SussexG - you beat me to it. But I would only have got the Achillea, and Daylilly, but I was puzzled a bit as I have never had slug damage to my Daylillies - damage to all sorts of other things, but have not been aware of damage to Daylillies. Many thanks for your time and effort.

I think I will have to save your's and Agatha's pictures with descriptions for future reference.

 

They only seem to attack some of mine and only when newly emerging.

It's a fun exercise but very useful.

 

I wouldn't have had a chance with that Rudbeckia, I tell you. BUT. I solemnly promise when I have a wild guess, I shall write it down in the future and not shy away from it... Stella D'Oro was the only one that occured to me, for that clump was far too small for a normal sized daylily, and the only mini variety I know of IS Stella... And as you have such a tremendous lot of plants to choose from... I left it at it. BTW, could you mention a tender perennial that looks similarly and that wouldn't survive ~ -20C°?
