Hi can anyone identify this plant please.

 hi my mother bought this plant about 7 weeks ago weeks ago I think it was from a food store or Homebase.

When she bought the plant she said on the label it mention the word Ibiza or Ibiza Mix something along those lines

I think it's some sort of potentilla?

    Hello mooota. It looks like one of the Petunia type family. It could be Calibrachoa or Surfinia.

    I think it may be Million Bells/calibrachoa which looks like a petunia but isn't as sticky or blousey.

    Definitely not a potentilla.

    These plants are tender perennials but it is such a faff to keep them over winter that they tend to be used as annuals and are thrown away at the end of the season and bought in fresh each year.
