The above plant come in a pot without a label, It grew tall and flowered this summer. Now wondering what to do with it, will it overwinter still in an outdoor pot, or do I need to put it in a greenhouse? Can I split it? Or is it just a one summer plant?
Thanks in Advance

Cineraria
Usually grown as an Annual in the UK.
It can be overwintered in frost free conditions I believe.
I am absolutely no expert but came across a similar flower a few weeks ago when looking for plants for a white patch. It reminded me of Senecio cineraria, but I could be completely wrong.
There is bound to be an expert along soon enough.
Wow, looks like I might be right, that's a first!
Haha I grow cineraria to compliment my Cyclamens. A lovely combination.
Its a half hardy perennial, but usually treated as an annual. It will survive a very mild winter.
Many Thanks all
I will pop it in the greenhouse and see if it will survive winter
I think it looked better smaller, not very keen on it in flower
Think I had some cyclamens too - will these overwinter too?
Some Cyclamens can be hardy, but it will depend on temperatures and exposure in your particular area. I live in North America Zone 5a. Winter wet is as much a problem as snow and low temperatures.
I have never tried Dusty Millers for a second year.
