Hi
Last years seeds have spent a good year growing away with one leaf per
seed. At the moment they are beginning to look a bit sick.
Is this (i) they are or (ii) natural part of the cycle and a new leaf
will appear in time?
Dunno if they are supposed to, but mine that are the same age are doing the
same thing.
I am comforted to learn they are not alone, as I was wondering too.
Victoria
If they are the more common hardy types, i.e. C. hederifolium, C. coum
or even the non-hardy C persicum, they will be dying down now. They
should begin to throw out new leaves in about August/Sept if C.
hederifolium and early to mid winter if either of the other two.
