Whats the matter with it Val?

Hmm...I'm not convinced this has been correctly labelled Val. It doesn't look anything like mine at all. The leaves on mine are arranged in 'whorls' ...well you've seen the photo! Then again, perhaps it is because it is so immature, or perhaps it is not 'aureomarginata'? In RHS guide the leaves on the picture look more like yours, less like mine!

Hya Karen, I cannot begin to tell you how upset I am about this plant, I ordered it from Parkers about last Aug. it did not arrive until Oct. I took great care of it, but it just sat there looking all sad and pathetic. I gave it to my friend for her birthday yesterday ( she had expressed a desire for one) I was so embarrased, and I would'nt mind but it was'nt cheap ! I have since been on their site and there is no sign of any. Wonder why ?
I explained as best I could to my friend, she was really sweet and asked if I would plant it for her , ---------well it was the least I could do!!
I could be wrong but not in a million years is hers gonnalook anything like yours------- well not till she's popped off anyway !!! as everone keeps telling me its slow growing !!!! LOL
Anyway thats my moan for the night !!!!

Oh, Val you never know, it might thrive! To be honest I have never been happy with ANYthing I've bought from Parkers and I won't be buying any more from them.

Isn't that funny I have heard other people say that (since of course ).
Thanks for your kind remarks, it is now back with me waiting for planting time x

dont know what its surpose to be like val, but if karen has one i will check it out, sorry its a dissapointment and worse when its a pressie for a friend x

Hi San, what I should have done was to complain------ shall know in future!
Thanks for your commiserations( he ,he ,that was a good word , where did that come from) ? Must be the bit of sunshine that has just appeared! x

A sad story, but gardeners have to triumph over many disappointments...

I did complain Cristina about 3 weeks ago , all they said was give it a bit more time ! ------ I mean how much time ?
