I wonder if Sissinghurst White likes drier conditions than some of the others. It's odd that it's one of the stronger-growing ones for me but hasn't done so well for some of you.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
I have a plant of Pulmonaria 'Cally Hybrid' supplied by Norwell Nursery, which Andrew Ward described as more vigorous than 'Blue Ensign' (which I also have). And I would agree with Andrew, it has beefed up in the second year whereas 'Blue Ensign' seems to have dwindled a bit (and I can't recall seeing many flowers).
@Loxley If Andrew grows it at Norwell Nurseries it must be good. I mentioned earlier in this thread about Joan Grout. After her death Andrew myself and a few other close friends dug up many plants from her garden including snowdrops. It was late January and Andrew was able to ID them, amazing. Many were sold with proceeds to Pershore College which was her wish. P Joan's Red along with P Redstart are always earlier into flower than most of the others. An added bonus in a late winter garden.
I have worked as a Gardener for 24 years. My latest garden is a new build garden on heavy clay.

A new one from a friend now seems to be doing well in deep dry shade.
