    Bought this earlier in the year but cannot for the life of me find it's label now. It's got very feathery leaves and I *think* had lots of small white flowers in the summer.

    Sorry for the poor quality pictures - dropped my phone one too many times and the camera is giving out :redface:

      Having only "small white flowers" I'd guess it's a herb (rather than floral bedding).

      What do the leaves smell of when you crush them?

      Hi 2ndB, It's a bit difficult to i.d. due to the clarity of the images but, and it's a wild guess, that it could be the Herb Oregano which can have white flowers:dunno::scratch::coffee::snorky:

      Oregano doesn't have feathery leaves.

        Depends on your/2nd Bassoon's interpretation of "feathery", Scrungee:dunno::dunno::snorky:

        It's not 'oval leaves' like what Oregano has

        Is there a white flowered Taragon?

        EDIT There's a white flowered feathery leaved variety of Corriander.

              I wonder if that`s an Achillea - when I first looked at the picture I thought ''Yarrow'' :scratch:

                The trouble with that, Tetters, is that it doesn't have the habit of a Achillea and should be taller to be an Achillea.:dunno:

                Definitely not Achillea, that has leaves that are divided like a fern. This look like individual leaves. I'd go for Rosemary as well.

                    Foliage looks like Diosma, which has lots of small pale pink flowers

                      Prizes go to @CarolineL - diosma is a familier name, and having googled it it definitely looks like the right one :biggrin:

                      Now time to invest in a better camera... :redface:
