Seedlings

Echinacea Prairie Splendor. I had to behavior at the garden center yesterday and not buy bare root echinacea. A bag of 12 was $14.99. Last season I didn't take care of my echinacea seedlings and they died. These have had the most germination from the 3 types sown for the past 2 years.


Vinca. Sowed 2 trays and these germinated. Will sow more. They usually do well but every season is different. Didn't show the geraniums. They all did poorly which is unusual. Hope to order and start more seeds but I may get a few from the ones I sowed.


Coleus





These are all supposed to be coleus but there are some tall ones that are definitely not coleus. Maybe I can identify them when they get their true leaves. The look like petunias but I don't usually sow different seeds in the same tray.

Lupines. I only sowed 12. If I get 5 to plant out that would be nice. Starting to get their true leaves in the center. An easy to seedling to identify by its true leaves.


Didn't think that foxgloves would do anything.  I may actually get a few. Afraid to transplant them yet. Two packs of seeds were sown but I guess only the strongest survived. Every time I try to take off the humidity dome they lay down so a dome still covers them.


African daisies were also thrown out. The seed didn't look viable from the packet it looked fragile and the 2 that germinated weren't healthy. I'll sow more from fresh seed.
