Plant name

Hi, could anyone tell me the name of this plant that i bought last year please as i have lost the label and can,t remember. I thought it was a Potenilla but i have found out that they flower from late spring to early Autumn, and this one finished flowering a couple of weeks ago and  has put on new growth at the top.The foliage spreads along the ground while it is flowering.many thanks Elizabeth.x

    Can't do potentilla varieties though verdun and elizabeth. I hope it is Elizabeth, it would be fitting

    Verd there's a potentilla in front garden next to me right beside the path and in the est agent pix it looked white. It's actually creamy/yellow so it might just be the photo!

    or your eyesight....image

    I was just relieved it wasn't one of the 'coarse' yellow onesimage

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Nut, is it Elizabeth?  Elizabeth has pale yellow flowers on a slightly pale green foliage. On the picture it shows white flowers.  In my experience elizabeth flowers non stop until summers end.  Not sure what variety is shown ...I grow a couple of white ones myself

    It took me a couple of hours to catch on Verdun.

    Not It's Potentilla 'Elizabeth'

     it's potentilla, elizabeth
