Can you id these container plants please

I brought some containers this year good bargains as all reduced due to neglect but I not sure what some of the plants in them are and I'd really want to either over winter them if I can, if not know what seeds/plant to buy again next year.

First photo, I think this one I would need to start afresh from seed in spring. it has fine long lacy/spiky leaves.



photo 2

This one is a rather nice bushy trailing plant, with little white flowers, that was in flower when I brought it back in June



These two I would love to use again next year in my containers, so if I can save them over winter I really would like to know what they are called

 

1. Looks like Isotoma axillaris.

2. Agree Bacopa...possibly Bacopa cordata.

Thanks

From the links yep that's what they are..

I'm surprised that the Isotoma is a perennial, and the Bacopa is half hardy so both worth taking out the containers and overwintering in the greenhouse (when it's here and up)

 

I read RHS link... was surprised ...Some Isotoma are perennial but not this one in Britain.
First frost will kill it in my experience.

 

Ah right, I'm getting how they present their info slightly mixed....

As I said I was surprised, as to me it's a delicate flower and couldn't see it lasting through a winter. That's a shame but saying that I shall either buy a packet of seeds and see if I can collect some seeds to start again next year...

 

Sorry rephrased my last post. Apologies if what I wrote seemed rude.
Read and read are spelt the same...confusing.

I love this pretty flower!

 

Silver surfer no apologies required....

I'm working on the greenhouse is going to be unheated for this first year, unless I'm lucky that I can obtain a propane heater cheaply then it's likely to give me a early start for growing.

At the moment what I'm looking to over winter is my fuchsia's, cordyline (2), Palm date so until I'm ready to start sowing some seeds for spring, I'm willing to experiment a little.

But will def file the cuttings for spring time though..

 

hummm, I do have a spare room, sadly it doesn't have a large windowsill and it's north facing... Is there a reason why a spare room, i,e that they need warmth, but not too much warm hence spare room ?

 

I have had awful trouble with vine weevils when overwintering fuchsia, so if possible repot before cutting back for winter.
When I first discovered Bacopa(2005) seed was difficult to source in this country, but it's now available, so easier to grow from seed than overwinter. Easiest is buying small plants and growing them on a bit. Laurentia (Isotoma) is the same, and Wahlenbergia and Scaevola are also becoming better known. Another that not many people use is the lovely cerise Centradenia, a bit slower growing but worth the wait.

 

I will try, and the fuchsia's that I can fit on the window, I think I shall give them a run in the greenhouse.... As there's nothing to loose.

Some lovely flowers there, shall be making notes of them... got a feeling 'Grandma's Chill out corner' is going to be one hell of a splash of colour next year
