Oh ho ho ho ho, as we repeatedly get days like nightfall, dull as you could imagine with wind and rain, and repeatedly days of maximum 13C such as today which is actually quite mild compared to what we have had, then yes, the poor plant is stunted! This year we have had two noticeably warm spells, a few days in late March and a few in late May, with SUN and a little over 20C!! Heaven! It's not always like this, only 90% of the time.
