I have this plant in my hanging basket.
What is it - is it hardy - what is its natural habitat ie rockery, ground
cover or whatever?

Looks like a Helichrysum to me, perhaps H. italicum. Does it have any
kind of scent? If that's what it is, it needs no frost, sun, sharp
drainage etc. But if you have somewhere to keep it over winter that is
dry, frost free and light you could try propagating it from seed or
cuttings - if it's what I think it is.
