    Thanks Fairygirl.  They are in very sunny position and have been there longer than two newer ones which have numerous stems. What I meant by 'leggy' is there are only about two long stems on each with nothing else coming off. They have been like this since I got them and am wondering if it could be anything to do with the planting depth.  I will see how they go this year.

    They need to be planted quite high - the crown needs to be near the soil surface. If you have heavy ground like I do , you can keep them almost exposed. They also need to be well fed.  :)
    They should produce several new stems each year until they're fully mature. Are there lots of other plants nearby? They might be a bit crowded.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
