Help with plant identifying

[Myvotesforknope]

I don’t suppose any of you can identify this plant? Saw it in a planter and thought it would work well in some of my large planters, but no idea what it is!

Thanks for any help

According to Picture This (plant identifier) it's

Kenilworth Ivy

Also known as pennywort.

The white flowers might be a different plant - white horehound

Oh thanks! Will look up both. If you have any ideas for some trailing flowering plants to go in a a planter, please share, I Inherited some at the front on the house I’ve just moved in, and need ideas to make the place less barren!

There is a really useful app called "plant net", which is made specifically for instances like this! I've used it to identify many plants.

Thank you, am very new to all this, now ask me about a houseplant and I’m your woman, but never had outside space before, and am excited but also clueless! Will get the plant net app, thanks for the tip!

It looks like a Bacopa to me, which is commonly sold as a 'tub and basket' plant.

Here's an example that I think looks like yours

It looks like trailing bacopa to me. I had several colours last year but the white is my fave.

I thought bacopa, too.

Thank you garden mumsnet! A board I never thought existed when I joined many years ago, but am so grateful! Bacopa seems to be it, thanks so much green fingered ones!

Plant apps don't have any botanical knowledge, they're merely matching pictures. Hence the suggestion above from an app that the plant could be "Kenilworth ivy" (Cymbalaria muralis) despite the leaves being a different shape (oval and toothed, instead of ivy shaped and smooth-edged), the flowers being regular five-petalled instead of like a snapdragon, a different colour (white instead of purple with a yellow blotch), and a different growth habit (Cymbalaria has much more lax stems). The suggestion that the flowers could be from a different plant, white horehound, was equally off, as horehound has bilaterally symmetrical, not radially symmetrical, flowers.

@Myvotesforknope you did well to ask here, rather than relying on an app .

I agree about the plant apps - they are pretty rubbish on the whole.

I'm a bit late to this particular plant ID party, but it's the perfect illustration of why the plant apps are so unreliable. The suggestions that came from them are laughably wide of the mark, as MereDint has explained. And yes, I think it's bacopa.
