    Ok, so I planted some sage seeds I bought from the store and I got this surprise plant. No idea what it is, and I have more photos if needed. Driving me nuts as to what it is. It has tiny clusters of white/pink striped flowers that are actually very dainty and cute. I replanted it next to my strawberry plant because I couldn't bring myself to discard it just cause didn't meet the typical standards of plant beauty.

    Had something similar happen with a seed packet !! One odd plant came up that I had not seen before !! Turned out to be giant nicotiana (5 ft tall) with the most wonderful fragrance !! I would just wait and see what it does !!!

    I don't know if it's that awesome of a plant, but yeah I'm gonna let it go as long as it's not destroying anything. Funny thing is, the bugs don't touch it. Well only thing that is all over them is ants. They love the flowers.

    My uneducated guess is milkweed but the tiny flowers don't fit the bill.

    I would keep it until you find out what it is anyway, never know. I plan to grow dandylions on purpose so why not a mystery plant!
