Does anyone know what these are that are growing in the pots I planted Echinaecea seeds?

All I can say is I think it's a weed, because I think I have a few of them too. Sorry not to have a name.

They look rather like cherry tree leaves, is there a cherry tree nearby?

They are Salix caprea seedlings. I guarantee! Seen them many times in pots. The tiny wind blown seed get everywhere and if they happen to land on a nice pot of moist compost, well!......

Well I do have cherry Treeas near by and also have Salix too., dont know if to laugh or cry as where have my Echinaea gone. may be starting buisness in Salix Or Cherry tree plants. thanks to Fractal., Bob and weeding!

I think Fractal is probably spot on with this as it would be unlikely cherries dropped and germinated in your pots.

Thanks Bob, think I will leave Echinacea seeds alone!

It seems that echinacea take a while to germinate. Did you give them a spell in the fridge before sowing.....they need a cold period before they'll germinate.

Hi Gilli no I didnt put them in the fridge, didnt say anything on the packet, but thanks will remember if I ever try them again LOL [ disappointing whe nyou dont get anything Boo Hoo]

They also look like the leafs of the Japanese Lantern plant..?

Defo Salix caprea :-)

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions, I thing they were Salix, but they are long gone now, but if they do appear again I will know what they are ;0)
