    Looks like a clover....Trifolium montanum perhaps?

    I think thats spot on, although I dont remeber it being called that name at all, we got it from gardeners world about 2-3 years ago, it just so beautiful when it first flower, we had a BBQ a few weeks ago and everyone wanted to know its name, thanks for helping I have been at a total loss

    do you have any idea where I can get information on propagating this plant please

    The book says propagation is by Division, or taking rooted stems in Spring. We have  red version of this and never tried to propagate it. Must add it to our to do list.

    Would have thought division would be pretty simple to do. Afterall it is just a clover. Wait til the autumn dig it up and split it into as many pieces as you want...live anywhere near hampshire lol
