Hi all, I have been given this perennial for our bee and butterfly community garden. Only clue is pink flowers, about 45cms tall, spreads a bit and bees love it.
Does anyone recognise it please. Thankyou 😃

    I have some white daisy flowers that have new leaves like that, so yours could be a pink form. I don't know its proper name though (the lady who gave it to me called it marguerite daisy).
    Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained

    Leaves look like something in the daisy family and if you hadn't mentioned 'pink' I would have guessed at shasta daisy (Leucanthemum ×superbum.)

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Thanks @JennyJ and @BobTheGardener, sounds like they will be ok to plant then.
    I first thought something aster like but was clueless really. They can go in the sunny bit.
