Anybody know what it is?  the seeds were definitely mislabeled. Can't really tell you any other information since it's being grown indoors under a plant light.  Distinctive pock marks on the leaves is curious...
It was labelled as platycodon, but I've never seen any platycodon looking like this...

geoferr writes: Actually, I just looked up balsam, and your plant looks a lot more like balsam than an impatiens. The leaves are too narrow for impatiens. Posted: 4:22 pm on February 27th
geoferr writes: These might be "touch-me-nots" (an impatiens), but could also be some other form of impatiens. "Touch-me-not" look like tiny orchids (about 3/4 inch across and 1-1 1/2 inches long) and form on arching stems off the main stem. These could also be New Zealand impatiens with larger (2 inch) flatter flowers which grow closer to the stem. These leaves look too narrow and long to be "touch-me-nots," whose leaves are more oval.

linalool writes: My mother had those all over the yard and you don't see them too much anymore. They are called "touch me nots." The seed pods will pop sending the seeds all over so they can be invasive but they are so pretty. Just pull up what you don't want. Posted: 12:13 pm on January 6th
