Last year was a disaster, dont know if it was the weather or that horrible Verve compost I used, but this year has been fantastic.

    They are looking beautiful.  Mine have only just started flowering but the signs are good.  Could be  both weather and compost that have made the difference.

    Used Jacks magic from homebase, bit more expensive but really good stuff.

    They look wonderfully abundant nodlisab.  Fabulous. 

    I bought new ones last year but have been a dead loss.  I had thought it was my compost which seemed lifeless but have come to conclusion that it was poor care of the plants before I bought them.  You know the thing, they look great when you buy them but for ever after they put on no new growth and just seem to have done themselves out.  Poor roots as well.
