Shame, I kinda miss it's reliability. But not the stems trailing all over the place and scratching my fingers when I'm trying to weed. Are we talking about the same plant? |

ah, you've probably very wisely got the annual versions.
I of course had perennials.............
Same genus though.

We have a flower!
Yes, what looked like ageratum with toothless leaves is actually turning out to be the lobelia. A single little purple flower made its debut while I was at work.
Which makes me wonder what the others are...?

You know, it might be the Campanula isophylla Stella Blue which bloomed.

Campanula isophylla
Evergreen, dwarf trailing perennial 4 inches tall, 12 inches spread.
starshaped flowers above small heartshaped toothed leaves (ideal for hanging baskets)
with acknowledgment to the RHS Encyclopedia.
Sounds lovely

These have a long, spade-like shape, and the larger ones are starting to develop teeth. But the leaf being oval makes it resemble sparse stairs instead.
No higher than 5" and it's spreading yeah.
This other one with the large leaves (slightest fuzz on them): one is definitely over a foot and no leaves in sight.
Today I plan to put the alyssum out of its misery. That's ok since I have two of those flowering things sharing a pot and they each need space.
btw I bought film.

Emergency transplant surgery yesterday. One of the plants is now about 15" high (still no flowers) and needed to graduate to a larger pot. The smaller of the two - the pinched one - is growing fuller but not much taller.
I separated more and appear to have 4 lobelia, one which is blooming several small purple flowers.
The straddlers are growing; it appears this was characteristic behavior.
