  • How pretty! There are quite a few varieties similar to this, but the most likely could be one called 'Pilu'.

    It's also similar to one called Bees' Jubilee (which is in flower now in my garden right now). It goes on to develop pretty silvery-gold whorly seed-heads. It's almost certainly one that you cut right back in the early spring, so if you never find out its name, it won't matter much.

    Thanks. By cutting back is that to ground?

    I usually cut back to a pair of buds a few inches from the ground. New shoots will then grow up. If cut do it a bit  higher up, it will still be OK. And watch out for slugs and snails munching the new shoots as they start to grow!
