Morning Gters 😊 waiting to see if this is a plant or a weed. Planted some seeds from this plant (I think seeds) fingers crossed 🤞 oh I didn't have any labels just used a felt tip and a stick with the plant colour 😊 🤔

The seed is the little bit at the end of the fluffy bit so if that end is touching or just under the compost you'll be fine. Keep them moist but not wet somewhere cool. Good luck!😀😀

Ooh thanks @joanboston that's the bit I have used.. Think the compost was a bit wet not loads but will have a look tonight when home from work may need to be a bit dryer than what it is.. It's worth a try.. Plenty more dead heads may try a find few more n put in dryer compost 😊

Whenever I see nice flowers I really want to get them, but have to be careful with the size of the surrounding, hehe....
