Help needed
« on: June 13, 2009, 04:04:57 PM »
I was taking some pictures of the rock garden the other day and saw this.  it's a 'lost label plant' and we've had it a while, but I can't for the life of me think what it's called.  Can anyone help?

No, Ursinia. Keep it trimmed back because it will go woody and only flower at the stem tips

Euryops pectinatus , I reckon.  Going by the foliage.
