    I think that's a Gypsophila. Possibly G paniculata or elegans


    In the sticks near Peterborough

    It is a Lantana, probably L.camara.
    It is not hardy.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Or take it inside for the winter - - my standard one has survived for several years in my back porch, where it gets plenty of light.

    Definitely Lantana😉😀 Depending on where you are situated it can survive the winter if planted in the ground in a sheltered spot.

    I have a green house, but if I planted it do you think it would be safe in zone 6b?
  • No. Zone 6b goes down well below freezing and Lantana is not hardy, which means it cannot withstand being frozen.
