        Could be heather (Erica vulgaris) - I get quite a lot of seedlings
        coming up from wet peat. If you move them all to a separate pot,
        you'll have a nice flowering clump of the stuff in a year or so, and
        it makes a good companion plant for outdoor bog gardens.

Hope this helps,

Peter
