Selinum wallichianum (milk parsley) has been growing well (good height) but all has bad leaf scorch this year, maybe because it their first year. They are supposed to like full sun, so not sure what to do. I think they will survive, just looking unhappy.
A few weeks after this thread I noticed a crambe growing in the bed next to the pond. I thought I had lost it a few years back. It must have heard the talk! It was fine until Storm Hector swept through and swept the poor crambe off its feet! Because needless to say I had not staked it!! I said it had a small footprint because mine just appears above a mound of Epimedium/miscanthus and it has very few lower leaves.

Nut has a big enough garden to pull it off. Crambe died on me the first year. I persevere with umbels, but apart from the hogweed grown from seed I collected by the riverbank, mostly they just die on me. Nearly every plant I have bought only lasts the one season.
