It looks as if it might be 'Annabel' Penny, but I wouldn't be 100% sure at this stage, maybe you could post another photo when the flowers are fully open

Beautiful Penny, you can always rely on this one to produce masses of flowers, have a nice Sunday Very muggy here atm, wouldn't be surprised if we have some heavy showers later.

Thanks, Kath. We had a nice, warm and sunny Saturday. I got up to a misty morning to go out and water the fuschia, etc., and as soon as I'd done so, it started to rain. I'm pleased as the garden likes that.
I'm thinking of getting another "Hawkshead" to plant in the front garden - will it be hardy enough to stay there through the winter? If not, would you suggest a variety, please. When I planted "Lady Thumb" in the front garden some years back, it didn't survive.

| If planting hardies out into the garden to survive through the following winter, it is generally recommended that they be planted at least 4 inches deeper into the open ground than they are in the plant-pot, and also before the middle of August. As it is still 'mild' and taking into consideration that Hawkshead is a 'real-old-hardy' you cold still plant 'out' a mature plant into the garden. Why not plant your existing one into the garden and buy another one to keep in the greenhouse through the coming winter. If you are intending to put a little bit of heat into the greenhouse you could also take cuttings now from your existing plant. Tip cuttings that is, removing any visible flower buds
