Hi

A friend was given this plant, but doesn't know what it is (and would like to look up splitting/ deadheading etc, but need to ID it, to do that)

I think it looks like a Dahlia Topmix Yellow, but I'm not sure?

Thanks

When I saw the leaves I thought dahlia but couldn't tell which one. I only know pom poms because my late Grampa grew them and I remember the upside down plastic cups stuffed with straw to catch earwigs.

@TroysMammy

Thank you for your reply.

That was pretty much my thinking too! The Topmix Yellow, is the closest I can find, but they're all much more yellow than my friends more delicate lemon.

It's so pretty I'd like to get one for my Aunt too, but only if I can get one the same.

Dahlia. There's all sorts of different flower head shapes. We have a farm by us who grows them.

Try putting the photo through the plantnet app. It's even better than my mum!

I'd say dahlia too

Have you tried googling Dahlia lemon single? Happy Days looks a contender.
