What's wrong with my nettles?
I have lots of nettles in wild corners, both sun and shade. They make lovely foliage plants with zero leaf damage. A very few blackfly, but none of the lepidoptera caterpillars that are supposed to use nettles as a preferred food source. I have never seen a caterpillar on my nettles though I get all the right sort of butterflies.
location: Surrey Hills, England, ex-woodland acidic sand.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
