Now I know what it is, and that it's in the verbena family - there are some 'basket plant' verbenas available with that two-tone sort of appearance, quite eye catching.

You are welcome Smile

Hi Op - hoping I can jump onto this thread and ask what my mystery plant is (don't want to start a whole new thread!)
I got a mini panda planter for dd and I've identified the strawberry seeds but these came as well with only Chinese on the pack...so I've planted them. I think they may be rocket, or a kind of spinach at a push? Or are they something else entirely and not 'ready' yet?

OP you can grow Lantanas in the UK but they won't make the winter, they need taken inside for winter. In Spain they can grow outside and they can just go dormant in winter.

Lantana bushes of many colours were viewed as weeds in W Africa where I lived once. So beautiful.

One of my favourite sayings @Footle "a weed is just a plant in the wrong place"
