The leaves are tiny.  The stems are woody and brittle 
I thought  it was a dead annual at first. 
About to compost it a couple of  weeks  ago,I  noticed a bit of green 
Might it be potentilla?

    That was my first thought,  though not a lot to go on yet :)

    I say 100% potentilla.
    Cut it all back to about 8" tall and it'll bush up a treat.

    It's smaller than that at the moment!. I'll give it a light trim. Thanks both

    I'd cut it back to the height of the "stump" in the middle of the photo and give it a feed.

    It's in a pot at the moment. Will find somewhere sunny for it when the time comes to plant it out. Thanks for advice @LToby
