Hypoestes phyllostachia I think, or very similar. Google it.

Yes it doesn’t like the cooler weather we get in Winter so I put it in the greenhouse June- August.

I've had those in the past as houseplants.
We just called them polka dot plants.
Haven't seen one in ages!

I have a little plant in a pot outside that has suddenly started growing like crazy. It has trebled in size in less than a month. I have no idea why except we have had more rain than usual at this time of the year. Not sure what it called, either.
