        You might have to wait for another couple of weeks and more leaves and shoots.
        Do you remember what the seed was like small, large, round, flat, black or beige.

        It was a largish seed, almost like a box/prism

          I just looked that up and the seed didn't look like that, it was more a light brown colour, similar size though

          Does it look like morning glory? I just saw a photo of some seeds that looked like this one did. I've never grown morning glory so no sure what it would look like
