    It’s could be, although the leaves are smooth edged on the mystery plant. I wonder when it will flower? Some stems are 3 feet high.

    If they are platycodon they're doing a lot better than mine :)



    Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
    Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

    I pretty sure it’s not the same plant now that I’ve seen yours. I wish it was though.
    thanks for the photo 👍

    Can't help I'm afraid, but many commiserations on finishing behind the mighty THFC, again.
    Walk out to winter, swear I'll be there.
    Chill will wake you, high and dry
    You'll wonder why.

    There’s a few things it could be ... we’ll have to wait for the flowers ...
