4" pot for size reference, growing in partial shade in newly made bed this year, has not bloomed before

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant. Mary Ann LaPensee

it looks similar to a type of hosta?

It looks a lot like sea lavender statice, Limonium perezii, to me. Without the blooms it is hard to tell.

thanks guys, but no it's not a hosta, nor Limonium - I didn't sow any of those. Someone suggested Cerinthe (which is one of the seeds that I scattered there this spring) and I was told, apparently, it's close to blooming.

I had to go look up Cerinthe. I think you could be right. I hope it does bloom for you soon.

Dunno', Kenny, but it shore looks like a nice plant!

It will be interesting to see what it does.

When sorting seeds, do not whistle.
