I couldn't get a close up
of the seedlings. Mine
look very much like
grass blades, but is
not like any grass in my
yard. It's more delicate and
a different shade than my
yard grass...just keeping
toes, fingers etc. crossed
flowers will appear....
thanks for trying...

I hate to say it but Dame's Rocket seedlings don't look like grass. The leaves are wider and I think they're a little fuzzy. I'll have look outside today and see if I can find any seedlings. I usually have a few volunteers that pop up.

Not trying to take over but do you need to cut down the dames rocket after its done blooming? I recieved some in a trade and some are done. I really have no idea what they do when they are done.

poppysue if you can get those seedling pics I would be very grateful too so I know what to look for too.
