Please could anyone tell me what this plant is please? It kept most of its lower, broader leaves during winter with the thinner new growth sprouting in recent weeks.

 Many thanks!

    It could possibly be gazania, but I would expect it to look a lot tattier after this winter.
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    I think Campanula maybe right, possibility Campanula 'Takion Blue'.

     Many thanks!

    I also have this one, a low growing plant which retained all its leaves during winter. Thanks.

    Looks like Dianthus.  Campanula has small heart shaped leaves.
    A good hoeing is worth two waterings.

    Some campanula do @tuikowhai34 but others have longer, narrower leaves - campanula persicifolia - or glomerata which has ovate leaves.
    Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.
