I need help with identifying this plant, it flowers yellow all year through.

    Is it woody around the base? Check out Coronilla Valentina Subsp Glauca.'Citrina'. This plant can flower on and off all year round, but mainly in early spring time.

    Yes, it is woody round the base.  Does it have a common name.  Looking forward to going back to major Garden Centre and saying Hey, It's this.

    Hi Borderline, thank you for letting me know, this is exactly it.  Brilliant.

    I have always called them Coronilla shrubs, although in this country, it's commonly grown as a wall shrub because it needs warmth and protection from the cold. I have just checked on RHS, and they name it as Scorpion Vetch if that helps.

    Yes, thanks, I have mine in a raised bed at the back near the fence and beside a honeysuckle.  I have asked my local Dobbies and they told me a"Honeysuckle", a Birdsfoot Trefoil, which I knew wasn't, so great, I now know exactly what it is.  Many thanks.  Eithne

    My guess would be a hollyhock?

    Which one? The pinky redflower is Hollyhock and the shrub in front is Hebe.

    Hello, I don't think it's a Hollyhock, as the stamen is different.  Yes, I know the front one is a Hebe.
    Maybe I'll hear from someone else.
    Thanks
