RHS Garden Hyde Hall - Dry Garden- Puzzle No. 1

(1/3) > >>

ideasguy:
I took approx 1000 photos on my recent trip to three RHS Gardens and Chelsea Flower Show.
In sorting them out, theres a few mysteries.

Heres the first puzzle posting. Many more to follow!

Heres a lovely plant for a dry wall.
I couldnt find a label.
Do you know what it is?

Location: The Dry garden
General view of plant



and a close up of the lovely foliage. Also, observe that little pink plant at the bottom right of the photo.
Its the subject of Hyde Hall Plants-Puzzle No 2

Tom:
I suspect this might be an Artemisia but I don't know the species. Tom.

ideasguy:
Ive been exploring my other photos, and I think Ive got it this one Tom.
I took photos at Wisley and one just like this had a label indicating the Genus Tanacetum.

I then looked up the plant list for the Dry Garden at Hyde Hall and find they have only one plant in the genus listed:
Tanacetum argenteum subsp. canum 
Do you happen to know that plant?

Do you grow it Eric (Palustris)?

Tom:
I think you are spot on on this one. I found a picture of it at
http://www.findmeplants.co.uk/plant-tanacetum-argenteum-2561.aspx
, a relative of our native tansy (tanacetum vulgare). I Don't know the one in the pic but is very nice.

ideasguy:
I edited the link in your posting Tom to make it work - Hope it meets your approval

I'm very fond of the Tanacetums which self seed in my garden. Theres a single, which isnt that great, but theres a very nice double.
Grows to about 60-70 cms It has self seeded around quite a bit and has been in my garden for years now.
More research to get the species  ::) vulgare???

Laurie has a new topic called Plant of the Moment in the Plants section on this forum. I'll post a photo there when I get one (a bit late this evening)
Its a good opportunity to remind members!!
