Callicarpa (beauty berry) from seed?

[SeanS]

Has anyone grown callicarpa from seed? I bought some Callicarpa bodinieri seeds in winter and sowed them in spring, 20 seeds. Finally something has popped up in one of the pots, but I have no idea if it’s a callicarpa or a weed.

Does anyone know what callicarpa look like when they germinate from seed? I appreciate these are only the cotyledons.

No way to tell until it has true leaves at a minimum.

First true leaves are starting to expand. So far it doesn’t look like my usual Oxalis!
