Looked beautiful. Such a cheerful yellow and lovely foliage.

    Euryops pectinatus for a guess (I just googled it)?  Also known as gray leaf or silver star flowers.

    Thank you @Welshwindyhills. It is on my wishlist now.

    Thank you!  I’d be lost without google 👀 💻 ……. and Gardeners World of course!

    Be careful, it is not hardy.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Not totally hardy no, but it's survived for several years in Sheffield Botanical Gardens. So it may be a case of protecting it from winter wet rather than freezing temperatures. The one in the gardens is in the Mediterranean climate beds which are very gravelly & well drained.

    It is described as far less hardy than that. I have seen them growing in the Southern Cape.

    Thanks for information on hardiness. I hadn't thought about it.

    It is growing in a front garden in the area where I live and good size so must be couple of years old. 

    If I find it to buy, I will take chance with hardiness and see how it goes. The main problem for me is to find a sunny spot in garden.

    Honestly think you'll be fine in London. Work plenty of grit into your planting hole and hope we don't have another winter like last year  :)

    One of the plants in Sheffield Botanical Gardens still flowering today after last weeks snow & freeze. But probably a different variety than the one shown by the OP.
