I have been growing this plant since last year but have no idea what it is. Can anyone help? It came in a pack of sculletaria seeds
Thanks |

| | | Re: Plant I.D. Please Yes, as I grew the seed in earth from outdoors so it must have been in that soil. No flowers on it since it germinated over a year ago. |

| | | Re: Plant I.D. Please It's a VERY thirsty plant and droops loads if it goes more than a day without a LOT of water |

| | | Re: Plant I.D. Please I can think of a number of possibilities for his plant, but none are more than a guess at this stage.
It appears to be a biennial, (Poss Foxglove). You may want to re-pot it in Feb/March and and wait for some flowers in May/June when it should become obvious what it is.
It doesn't look like it's going to flower this year.
I'm intrigued. Keep us informed.

| | | Re: Plant I.D. Please Yes, but their leaves are all shorter and thinner than the ones on this plant. Mmmmm, a different variety of Foxglove? |

| | | Re: Plant I.D. Please Are the leaves bristly to touch or softly hairy?
My impression was that this might be Green Alkanet Pentaglottis sempervivens, and this is very easy to confuse with Foxglove until you touch them. So Dorts' suggestion of Foxglove reinforced this idea. |
