  Reply | Contact Mine have crumpled leaves. I have 77 as I did not know you dont have to plant the whole packet. Some are now over a metre tall. They are in heavy clay soil having been nurseried in compost. I have bought some organic flower food and I gave all of the some about a month ago. Some are so crumpled they look nearly dead and others have just started crumpling. Is ther anything I can do?
