Difference in flowers between 2 identical tubs
Hi. I planted up 2 tubs, one either side of my greenhouse with the same plants in both (including Convolvulus cneorum). I planted both at the same time and filled with the same garden compost. The first year both flowered the same, but the past 2 years one tub is full of bloom, whilst the other, hardly any. Does anyone have an explanation for this?. Thanks

Swop the troughs around and see what happens.
Cambridgeshire/Norfolk border.
They aren't hardy in lots of places in the UK, so even small differences in the site and conditions can be quite important.

However, if you want to grow pieris in containers, they'll need more than compost. Shrubs won't thrive long term in that.
