    I have been given what looks to be a pretty peach daisy type plant. Feathery foliage. For now I have given the poor thing a drink in hopes of “pepping it up”. There is no label so any help would be great.

        Thanks Plantminded. I assumed it was a daisy type thing it has already perked up since I gave it the soaking this morning. No idea where it will be going yet, probably a pot on its own.

          It’s an unusual colour @Jacquiscrap, white or yellow are what you often see in garden centres here. The yellow one is also known as Jamaica primrose, a nice reminder of sunny days (what are they? :)).

            It might be rhodanthemum zagora orange. See what you think…

              I think you might be right @pitter-patter. That would explain the unusual colour!

              I think that @Mrs Hillard grows something similar, so she may be able to be more definite. It’s a lovely plant.

                I can't get a close up of that, but if not 'Zagora Orange' it may be Rhodanthemum 'Sunshine Peach'.. which I have here..

                  It does look very like the Sunshine Peach.
