fast growing plant

17 years ago

Does anyone know of a very fast growing plant I can start from seed now. I need many small plants to use for my daughters wedding shower favors on August 13th. Thanks!

I'm afraid there's none that is large enough to give as wedding favours in that short time. At best you'd probably produce seedlings that are too fragile at only 2 weeks. Most plants need 2 weekds to germinate.

My suggestions it to head to the garden centre to purchase young plants. Or to get someone to share plants by division which will provide a good enough size - or go to garden to look for young seedlings for transplanting.

Mmmmm... Do you always garden at night? It's really hard to see what's in the picture:) If forced to give an opinion I'd say it looks rather like a tree seedling/sucker of some sort. The behaviour fits too. Constantly cut down and reappearing points to tough roots and the constant pruning would lead to the multiple stems. But don't quote me.
