I recieved a package of unknown seeds in July and immediately planted them. Less than half the seeds I planted germinated, and it took (I'd guess) 2-3 weeks for the seeds to pop up. Here is a pic of what I've got. Can anyone identify it?



Thanks!!

what did the seeds look like? were they tiny round seeds,white&red in color? i see the stems are redish in color. looks like my love-lies-bleeding seedlings.but i cant say for shure,

The stem is reddish but the leaves are a solid green. The leaves are also oval, smooth, and slightly toothed along the edge. The seeds I planted were less than a 1/4 inch long, tannish-brown, and spiked (like a coneflower or daisy seed). I looked, and I think the love-lies-bleeding seeds are round. Thanks for the suggestion!

Sarah, maybe after your seedlings put on a couple of more sets of leaves, someone will be able to help you ID them. So many seedlings look alike that I would be afraid to guess at this early stage. I nutured an entire bed this summer with seedlings like that...they turned out to be stinkin' ol' Pigweed.

Lol - I'm hoping I didn't plant pigweed then!

LOL! Not all Amaranthus are the common Pigweed. There are many ornamental Amaranthus, but when I look at this small seedling Lambsquarter comes to mind.
