    Hi

    Does anyone know what this seedling is? I sometimes throw seeds onto my larger established shrub pots to and see if they germinate. It is a high risk strategy as it means i also get a fair share of weeds.
    The seedling has dark green heart shaped leaves with a serrated edge though there is no guarantee the leaves will stay like this when it matures. I had thought it might be an eryngium but i now i am not convinced. The leaves are currently 2cm long

    Many thanks in advance

    That looks remarkably like a Hellebore seedling. Which one will come to me eventually.

      Ahh that would make sense. I had the pot next to a hellebore last year. Brilliant. Thanks for your help
