What is the name of this shrub?

I've described this as a shrub but I could be wrong. I think the yellow flowers are maybe about 30mm dia  so just over an inch.

I quite fancy one of these in my garden if suitable.

    Looks like an anthemis - very easy to grow

    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    I'd say that sounds about right Phil.

    I put Anthemis in to Google and it was one of the photos that came up.

    The photo that  seemed like a good match was described as 
    Cladanthus, but most plants have more than one name.

    It is just a matter now of deciding which name to use on my local forum's garden wanted section. :D Probably  best to just stick a photo up.

    Another one to have a look at is argyranthemum - similar flowers and foliage and flowers from late spring to autumn

    I've got a tall anthemis somewhere down the garden - it sprawls around but looks good in the background.

    Looking at the flower shape and early flowering, I think they are Euryops Pectinatus.

    I'd be happy with anything that resembles the photos I took.

    I like that there is a good display of flowers  on these plants. 

    I could end up thinking I have got one plant when it is actually something else, but that is okay.  I'd not seen anything locally like these until a few days ago.

    They're all part of the Aster/Daisy family. Local nurseries seem to have lots of similar plants with a wide variety of names, some more hardy than others.
    I was very impressed with argyranthemums I've bought a few times, I found that if they're dead-headed they flowered from June until the frosts got them
