I planted some mixed perennial seeds and the 'seedlings' are starting to get a bit bigger. They are still young, so no flowers yet.

What plants do you think these might be?

     Large leaves, rosette plant.

    Possibly a type of primula?

    3 a salvia

    You have to get up early to catch me Rainbow

    I think 2 could be a Verbena Bonariensis

    4 could be a Gaillardia.

    I could be wrong, and most times are! They just look like some I have at the moment.

    Gives you something to cgoogling google maybe.

    Another possibility for 4 is one of the oenotheras (not biennis)

    Plant 3 does seem to have sage like leaves but without any of the fuzzyness

    I hope plant 2 is Verbena Bonariensis, it is very pretty and I have 5 of these seedlings.

    Does Verbascum blattaria have smooth or hairy leaves?

     

    Can't wait for these to flower and find out the answers to these puzzles
