I found this in my garden. It is about 9" high at he moment and stands erect
but has an offshoot at the base which is sprawling. I have another that I
found self-sown in a pot. I did have another in an indoor pot (beneath the
roots of a lemon tree) but without the purplish tinge; it grew rapidly with
trailing branches over two feet long but it died off when I tried to
transplant it. All three plants seem more or less fleshy but with the lowest
stems turning woody.

Any

ideas? I have a vague idea it might be Abutilon but as I have never
grown this I can not be sure.

TIA

It's making me think of some kind of Leycesteria but I'm not convincing myself!
