She said she thought it had anemone type leaves! So, I think you might be
right, Kay. However, the googled images seem rather purpley-blue, and she said
it was a clear blue.
Thankyou for the help :o) I will pass the info on.

Anemone blanda is in flower, is widely planted, and to a non-gardener,
non-botanist looks extremely daisy like. The fact the OP goes on to say
that the unidentified plant has 'anemone like leaves' is a further
suggestion that it is Anemone blanda.

I cut mine back under 2 weeks ago after a heavy frost. It had been
flowering up to then.
They grow more than 3 inches high. My immediate thought was anemone
blanda.

But Pam, you're in Bristol! The original question came from someone in
Yorkshire. You are in the west country - they are not.
This remark isn't directed at you, Pam but when people give
advice/opinions/information here, it might be a good thing if they
considered where the OP lives. That's why many of us ask newbies where they
live - it makes a HUGE difference. Here in S. Devon we have customers who
live on Dartmoor, in Plymouth, Salcombe and Torquay and many permutations of
all of those. All will experience totally different conditions in this small
area and some will just not know enough. Only last week I stopped a young
couple making their first garden from buying a Hardenbergia because they
liked the colour! Horticultural heartbreak would have followed as the night
the day.

Considering the time of year, that's a good possibility. It might
be A nemorosa or A appenina, though the latter is rather rare in
gardens.

Well, it wasn't meant to be a reprimand, more of a heads up to all of us, me
included. I've been guilty of many such sins, I'm sure, e.g. recommending
Escallonia for hedging to people who couldn't hope to keep it, or so I'm
told! Virtually all my gardening life has been in the Channel Islands or
Devonshire, so my experience of climate is narrow and I have to remember
that!

I've kept several things that are supposed to die at the first hint of a
breath of frost, through winters in Jersey but IME, such plants succumb if
there's prolonged frost, rather than frost that goes off quite quickly
during the day, if you see what I mean. For example I had Tibouchina and
Polygala and Leonotis in one garden for a few years until we had a very
unusual 3 or 4 days of continuous frost which finished them off.
We tried leaving a Polygala outside last year and it was killed off while
Leonotis survived.
I'll try to remember to leave some Felicia out this year to over winter and
see if it survives because we do like to experiment with things.
When I first moved to Devon, David Poole very kindly gave me a few choice
things for my garden, though acknowledging I was his 'experiment'! He lives
in Torquay and has a walled garden, I lived only 3 or 4 miles away back
then but I was in a frost pocket and a lot of what he gave me was wiped out
in one winter. It was interesting, if sad.
We've had some sharp frosts but only one day when the ice on the fish pond
didn't melt entirely. I think that day was down to -5 or -6. We were
worried about a few things but so far, so good. The Grevillea rosmarifolia
which some think tender is flowering its socks off now but I must remember
to inspect the Cytisus battandieri!

We've had whole weeks when the ice on the fish pond didn't melt at all!
(and I do mean this winter)
When we were up in Northumbria a couple of weeks back, the river was
freezing every night, and had sheets of ice drifting slowly down it all
day.

That is unlikely. I think it is much more likely to be
Anemone blanda, which is just flowering now here in the
Yorkshire Dales, where I have not yet seen any F bergeriana
in flower yet The OP did say that the leaves were
anemone-like. The F bergeriana leaves are not particularly
anemone-like.
I think Kaye's original suggestion was right.
I hope you don't mind my relocating your contribution to the
recommended position in the thread.

Whatever the plant turns out to be depends on what she says and nobody else.

You are behind the times. Martha Stewart announced that white
anemone nemorosa is passe and only pale pastel blue will do in
today's hard hitting dog eat dog world of finance and petty
dishonesty. Get with the program.
(To which the guru replies pastel plants for pastel people.)
Less jokingly: afaik, most A. nemorosa cultivars are pale blue.
Good whites are less common. There are a few pink- and
purple-tinged forms.
But what do I know? The plant isn't native here, and it may be
that bluish forms are rarer than white in the wild, hence favored
for bringing into gardens.

Well, the only ones I have ever seen are the wild
windflowers and wood anemones, which are white A nemorosa.
I am not aware of any cultivated cqrieties , so I must be
out of date.

Roger is right about bluish forms, but they are a very pale blue, not at
all like the bright blue of Anemone blanda. There are two quite commonly
available bluish varieties, both of which are quite vigorous: A.
nemorosa 'Robinsoniana' and A. nemorosa 'Allenii'.
However, I wouldn't say there are more blue cultivars than white; there
are some quite large-flowered white forms available as cultivars too
and, of course, the species itself which is an excellent plant in its
own right.

Well not so sure young Kay, I've just found some of last years petunias

Never known those to survive the winter inside let alone outside.
