I’ve offered to get my lovely neighbour some plants by ordering online. I can’t work them all out though.

I’m stuck on:
Scottish thistles. There seem to be a few thistles. I’m not sure which is a Scottish one.

Pyrethrum. This seems to be a daisy that isn’t called this any more, but now might be called Tanacetum cinerariifolium but that doesn’t seem to help. Or is it Dalmatian pellitory? I’m not sure.

Any ideas?

Scottish thistle also known as Cynara Cardinculus or Cardoons.

Cynara cardunculus | globe artichoke/RHS Gardening

^These are fabulous - grow to anywhere between 4ft - 9ft tall and very dramatic. They need plenty of room as the leaves are rather big too.

Not sure about the daisy though.

Aha, one down. Thank you!

I think pyrethrums are now tanacetum.

These are pyrethrums.
