Survivor

B3B3 Posts: 25,296

I bought a plant for 50p from a sin bin last year. I thought it was one of those petunias with very small flowers -they were deep blue/purple.

It has survived over a week of hard frost so it's not a petunia.

What could it be?

    My husband's been hogging the laptop all day. Will see if I can find one when he's satedimage. Tried looking through old postings but can't get past current ones.

    Still might be a petunia, I had one that lived for 3 years in a trough in which garlic grew - it froze several times but came back smiling.  Eventually something ate it.

    Maybe a Calibrachoa Million Bells ???

    I had one a couple of years ago, very pretty but didn't survive the winter.

    Kitty  I think you're right. It must be a particularly hardy specimen!
