Don't know what I'm growing!

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

Hi everyone! This is my first time attempting to grow rosemary from a seed. I bought a seed packet from Home Depot. The problem is that the sprout that started growing doesn't look like a rosemary plant to me (at least what I've looked at online and what I know rosemary leaves to look like). So, I'm wondering what exactly I'm growing?? Maybe I got a different type of herb seed in my pack or hopefully I'm not putting my time into caring for a weed haha. Thanks for the help!

    Well you are quite right that it isn't Rosemary, nor any of the common herbs I know. If you are curious grow it on a bit more and post on the Name That Plant Forum to see if they can provide you with a name.

    BTW Rosemary is not particularly easy to grow from seed and since you only really need one plant buying one or growing from cuttings is probably quicker and more reliable.
