The leaves do closely match on that one. Not exactly a stunning plant, huh? Doesn't ring any bells for anything we might have planted either. I'll watch it and see how it goes. Thanks.

#1 - Given the other "herbs", maybe a green Perilla or "Shiso"? I'm really not sure on this one. #3 - Honesty or Lunaria #6 - Elecampane (Inula helenium). BTW, Comfrey and Elecampane can look similar when first coming in the spring but once they get a few more leaves it becomes pretty clear which is which. Elecampane has a very floral scent to its rather substantial root and comfrey is a more bristly plant compared to the rather smooth elecampane. #7 - Lemon balm #8 Valerian #10 Lovage - has a strong celery smell/taste Go over to the herbs forum if you want to ask more about your herb garden!

That's a coleus. It is very leggy and pale from being grown in too little light. Though most coleus prefer to be grown out of the direct sunlight outside, when brought into the home we need to give them plenty of light or they will fade and stretch for some sunlight. It's still pretty, though! I'll attach the google link to some coleus images so you can see some of the zillions of coleus varieties. If you look carefully, you'll find your variety among the pictures. Coleus are a favorite bedding plant for semi-shady gardens and for outdoor container planting. They can be grown inside, too, as you have found. Here is a link that might be useful: Click to see!

So If my plant is a lilac how long do you think it will take until it flowers and how long can i safely keep it in a container. I don't have anywhere to plant it. I live in an apartment building so i may be able to upgrade it's pot. C sabol
