    Hi @Ed S , they look like Zinnias to me. They are too overcrowded though, they need either potting up singly or planting out now.

      If the leaves are small, about the size of a 5p coin or smaller and aromatic, I'd say it's a Marjoram or Oregano.

        Oregano was my bet. I had planted some oregano seeds too. My other zinnias look quite different (a good deal more substantial). Sadly, I have practically no sense of smell or else I would have a better idea..!

          @Ed S My Zinnias look like Petes photo as well, a lovely group of bedding plants. We have all mislabeled seed trays, it can cause some confusion. :scratch:
