It was supposed to be a geranium...

Can anyone hazard a guess? Assume it's a weed that's cunningly let me nurture it since March!

Well it's not a geranium and it's not a laurel either -it does look familiar but my brain cant ID it - let's wait for a flower
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
It looks vaguely like my evening primrose seedling leaves but bear in mind I keep thinking that they're dandelions.

Not evening primrose I don't think. Vaguely like a pepper!
Ah. Now I did plant pepper 'pompei', possibly they got mixed up. Is it late for pepper though? Or early? I don't know anymore.
I have one that I know is a pepper and it's a tiny weedy thing. I'll have to compare them properly.
the leaves that aren't all screwed up look like peppers.
It won't be evening primrose, that only makes a rosette in the first year. and laurel would never get that big from March.

Thanks all. I will keep it a bit longer and see what it turns into then!
I'll keep you posted
When do you have to start growing evening primrose plant pauper? I really want some for next year in my garden...When should I sew the seeds? I don't have a greenhouse...can it be done on a window sill? Sorry to detract from the original question.
I only have mine by accident Wake. My neighbour gave me some in flower last year and they didn't really take so I gave them a good shake after the flowers had finished and voila! This year I have seedlings.

Early Summer for seeds apparently.
Sorry for hi-jacking...as you were.
Thank you ! Need to try and get some seeds!
