Name That Plant!

Wildflower- what is it?

9 years ago

Hello- I planted some seeds from a perennial wildflower mix this spring. I have these all over- what is it? Tiny tiny red buds, can't tell if they will open next spring? I couldn't figure out what this might be.

Thanks! Tess

I can't tell you which one..but I'm sure someone will come along that can.

Best to pull it before it goes to seed.
