    Hello,
    Can anybody help me identify this plant? I've grown it from seed and the label has faded. The leaves are quite delicate. image-0552e0f1-d0fa-4f3d-b53d-de75f08e88995099369830209254016.jpg image-0552e0f1-d0fa-4f3d-b53d-de75f08e88995099369830209254016.jpg IMG_20210412_200928.jpg image-0552e0f1-d0fa-4f3d-b53d-de75f08e88995099369830209254016.jpg IMG_20210412_200928.jpg

      Looks like a vine. Virginia creeper? Parthenocissus?

        Thanks for the suggestion/help but that's not something that I would grow. Hmmm...

        Well if you narrow it down to what you did sow, that will help :biggrin:

        I stand by the initial impression that it's some sort of climber.....;)

              Rhodochiton astrosanguineum that's it! I did plant some seeds, (amongst many others) but thought they had n't come through. Thankyou.

                That, in my experience, needs careful keeping in the very early stages.
                I think you have done well with that.

                Thankyou. I am in Kent (Dover). I put half of the plants outside in a plastic greenhouse yesterday and kept half on the windowsill. It was quite a hard frost last night, thankfully they look like they have survived.
