So during winter I picked up a pack of Short Stuff seed mix from the Native Seed / SEARCH. It's either unavailable on their site or it's since been replaced with another tortoise mix. I am a genius and I lost the cute little bag insert that listed what all the seed mix contained.
Anyway, during winter I managed to get a few sprouts and they died shortly after because it got so cold and I forgot to cover them. Ho hum.
I tried again in July...and it's been almost two months that this thing's alive and I have no idea what it is. It's bigger than my globemallow (which has been getting nibbled on by grasshoppers) and it's blocking out some of the grass that grew from the mix.
I hope it's safe because it makes great shade.
Here's a picture of the leaves:
The stems:
Upon inspecting the picture I noticed tiny little purple flowers under the leaves.
This cluster turned into more of the little purple flowers.
I'm growing more from the seed mix in a controlled pot in my room to see what else grows. It sprouted really quickly. I started it on Sunday and I already have tons of sprouts.
