Could anyone please identify the little white frothy flower in the pots? Probably not the best photo, sorry

Could it be Bacopa? Annual bedding plant.

There's an app for this. It's called plantspot: just take a photo and it will tell you what it is

hawleybits · 10/05/2020 20:04

This is the best, and only photo I have, so I doubt the app would work. It's just a little garden I love and I especially like the white plant.

If it's Bacopa then I already have one in my garden but it's huge! I think it could be though

Try the Gardening section of MN. Very knowledgeable

Do the little white flowers of Bacopa close up in the evening, when the sun goes down? That's what the white flowers on my plant do.

Maybe Cistus hybridus?

hawleybits · 10/05/2020 20:14

Could also be Cistus hybridus, although I think the centre is very yellow.

Could it be a white potentilla?

steppemum · 11/05/2020 13:34

Is it like that now?
Bacopa is a bedding plant, doesn't survive the winter (unless no frost) and unlikely to be thta size already.

Sorry for the late response. Yes, my plant is perennial and is currently in bloom but is approximately 3 feet tall.

Knittedfaries I think you could probably be right about I'm sure this is what I was looking at outside Waitrose, and there was also a lilac variety. The white potentilla is so pretty! I'm going to buy some.
Thanks everyone for your help.
