anyone know what smooth aster seedlings look like?
This container is supposed to contain smooth aster seedlings. But a lot of these look like lance-leaved aster seedlings. Can anyone confirm that this is what smooth aster seedlings are supposed to look like? Lance-leaved asters are a very common "weed" here, so it would not be at all surprising for it to have taken over a container.

They are a little to small to tell just yet. I've got some smooth aster plugs I just planted, I'll go out this morning and take photos and see what you think. You might wait until they get their second set of leaves to tell. Smooth aster looks like a broad leaf grass with bluish tones. I'll get back to ya.

Smooth aster plugs I just added to my garden. See if yours look like this in a couple of weeks.

Yeah, what I really need is for that central stalk to come up so that I can verify the clasping leaves, which NE aster and smooth aster have, but none of the other common ones do. Guess I'll have to pot these up and let 'em grow for a bit.
