Quiz time?
Who can guess what issue has caused the difference in these two batches on H**e?
Same variety.
Same care regime.
Located just yards apart.

Quick shout out for “Veronica Nicky Lavender”. Not a variety we’ve had before but it looks great and I have never seen a single plant attract so many pollinators at once.

Piers’ top tip #5
Not all ‘composts’ (growing media) are the same.
Visited a plant breeder trial ground on Thursday to take a look. They’re conduction trials on retail “peat free” compost. The thing that bothers me about “peat free” is it only tells you want isn’t in it, not what is. There’s a much longer (dissertation level) explanation available here, but for social media I’ll just say - Buyer beware.
This is a “blind” trial but I know that no.17 is a major brand sold UK wide in supermarkets.
I also know that the entire trial ground. Which is amazing, uses Bulrush compost. The only brand we both use and sell.
