    Proberbly Artemesia Oriental Limelight.
    I grew this in a hanging basket years ago as an experiment ,it took over almost completely,I had to keep cutting chunks off it.
    Lovely foliage plant , although can be quite a thug.

      Looks like it, thanks. Not a plant I have ever grown, but my correspondent will be pleased to know what it is.

        Yes, A.Limelight and NEVER plant it in your garden. Almost impossible to eradicate once it gets established.

          Don't like it. I always think that the plants with that kind of leaf colouration look sick.

          Limelight lights up a corner in my garden, although I`m really glad I took advice from an expert and kept it in a pot.;)
