Yeah I have found a few forums state side, where I think it was bred, and the consensus has been to run away from it just like the others. I might put it in a big pot, as it's a wonderful variety.. plus Iv bought it now😄...

"One of the best bits of advice read on here was to aim at £1 per minute of mowing. A four 4hr straight job would be a cracker. If she wants a diamond pattern, that's a lot of concentration for 4!hrs £££££
