Being on acid soil we found that anything from the chalky Isle of Wight
didn't do well for us so avoid anything with Wight in it's name. Is
November early enough for it to grow at least 6 inches high before winter
sets in, we plant in late Sept or Oct. Did you plant it deep enough,
completely covered, an inch or two down.

I guess they were planted about an inch down. Maybe it was a bit late, but
'winter' never really happened. Interesting point about chalk. My soil is
slightly acid clay. I'll bear that in mind

The best varieties we have found for us on our acid soil are Thermidrome and
Germidour.
