I guess I could go through all my seed exchange lists as this is the only one that has no label.
It is possible they were from last year's exchanges.
They are sturdy little plants in 6 cm pots.

Maybe Lobelia siphilitica? It has rosettes like that.

Thanks, Carolyn,
I never would have guessed a lobelia.
I didn't get seeds of L siphilitica, but did sow L.'Bruce Wakefield', L bridgesii, L cardinalis and
L oligophylla.
Oligophylla is a small plant from Chile. Maybe that is what it is.

Diane,
Do show photos when it flowers.
I have had L. bridgesii for 3 or 4 years now, a lovely plant which has just finished flowering.
L. tupa is just taking over the flowering relay. Siphilitica flowers a bit later - towards the end of August, so adds valuable colour. I keep losing cardinalis to winter cold/wet every time I try it.

Yes, my L.tupa is blooming now, too. They are old plants.
And cardinalis is starting to flower in a pot. I'm growing it for a daughter who lives at the bottom of my dry hill and has a stream running through her yard.
