    So it's a production team error rather than Monty getting his own plants wrong? Did you comment on the video? Someone definitely should!

    Oh yes, of course - I see. Hmmm - someone should point it out somewhere, I reckon... might have a little trawl and see what I find

    That Facebook page is insanely busy (well it was last time I looked - I had to stop following because it was so busy!). I might just send an email.

    Edited to add: However, I notice that they have apologised for an error in the Camellia feature from the week before, so I think it's worth saying something.

    The video showing the clump that Monty dug up was Laciniata, the leaves are exactly like ours, although they're an absoluet magnet for slugs all year round, they would decimate the plant without some form of control. I put a wide copper band around it, and a slug was crawling up the outside of it!
    We had a clump for a few years and it was left until late spring when growth had started.
    I took a carpenters saw and sliced it up like a cake. Amazingly, when the pieces were potted up, there was zero wilting of the leaves and it just carried on growing.

    No I was interested in the Monarch that you linked to. ??
