Plant identification please

tucsongal — Tue, 07 Jul 2020 18:27:31 GMT

I bought this earlier this year never expecting it to survive the summer. I’m pleased to say that it’s done quite well but I don’t remember what it is ☺️. I believe it had small purple/blue flowers. Thoughts?

Looks like it could be a sedum plant. They do have small purple flowers.

@kitty60 Thanks but it’s not a succulent. That’s why I was surprised that it’s been surviving the heat so well.

I have some that come back every year and grow well in the summer heat. Hope you find out what yours is.

I have one that looks like it. I think I remember that it is a type of kalanchoe.

Mine got lanky but never bloomed.

@Zhills Thanks for your response but I believe a kalanchoe is a succulent. This is definitely not a succulent(which is what I have most of though).

I believe this is the same planter I rec'd this spring as a gift. thankfully theres a id tag in it. Its called "pistashio pops." So its ipomea Marguerite or Helichrysum Licorice Silver. Google those 2 names and see if its there.

@aoldgirl Thanks for your response. I looked those up and the Helichrysum comes closest but not quite it. I have it planted in a vintage enamelware pitcher, just purchased it in a plastic pot. I appreciate everyone’s input!

Do the leaves have a scent; from my view, it kinda looks like oregano...

It does, doesn’t it? My oregano died awhile ago 🙁. It isn’t an herb but it certainly looks like it could be. I think it’s a perennial, but again so many things don’t make it through the summer here I just didn’t pay attention. That’ll teach me lol.

@tucsongal This is not oregano, we have this herb, doesn't have leaves like this and you'd smell it if it was.

We've had this plant in summers past but I'm not the plant person, my husband is as he's a hort guy. Sorry but I don't know what this is.

It kind of reminds me of a hebe. They tend to have purple blooms as well.
