Hello Steve,
I believe that, like Dock, it is a noted coloniser of fertile ground,
particularly clay. Is it possible that your alkaline soil is on the lean
side?

Some sources say this grows in any reasonable soil while another says it
needs acid soil and that lime can be used against escapees.

It certainly failed to germinate last year in my slightly alkaline soil.

What do urglers find?

Thanks!
