ID Please

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum and relatively new to gardening (I live in a tenement flat so have been learning in my parents wee cottage style garden). My Mum has a knack of getting bargain plants in garden centres at a fraction of their marked price and the plant I hope someone can ID is one of these "bargains". Neither of us can remember the name of the plant although I do have a recollection of the instructions saying it required full sun and had red flowers. We've only had it since last autumn so haven't seen it bloom yet. I'm interested in just about everything plant related although at the moment Clematises are my favourites - we put in a number of plugs last autumn with varying degrees of success - i realise that it normally takes about the 3 years for them to get going (year 1 sleep, year 2 creep and year 3 leap) patience has never been my strong point

Anyway here's the plant - it's the one standing tall (well it would be if I hadn't moved it last night, the leaves are softly hairy. I wondered if it's some sort of poppy as that what the leaves look most like to my untrained eye.

So any help would be much appreciated.

All the best.

Achillea of some sort? I have a red flowered one that has leaves like this

 

Many thanks to Ariadae and Wiseowl for your speedy replies, having looked at both Achillea and Wiseowl's ornamental poppies I can't figure out which it is - never mind you've given me a starter and now just to wait and see what treasure it produces come bloom time - have been stumped for days trying to use the correct descriptive language for Google to throw up suggestions.
Anyway, hope the sun's shining for y'all.

I thought it was achillea too

Here are some of mine





Ignore the weeds i have yet to weed these sections

 

yep i think it probably is the same and mine are red flowered ones too

mine is achillea cassis

 

Hi Dips, Thanks for sharing your photos they look pretty much identical, can't wait to see the blooms now, but thanks again to all as it allows me to put it in a less prominent spot.

P.S. I'm a typical guy with a hang up about reading instructions so will get the hang of the using the ratings icons things in time

 

Your welcome @oo2be

I have yet to see mine flower i got them as plugs last year so they only went out in the border a few weeks a go so im getting excited for when the flower :-)
