    I bought this Hepatica last spring but it hasn't grown a millimetre, and it looks a bit sickly. What's the best way of dealing with it.

    Compost heap.:biggrin:
    The compost looks a bit sour and old?

    Not a plant I've ever grown.

    Looking like the slugs have given it a hammering.

    Try repotting in to a leafmould rich gritty compost. Water infrequently and leave in a relatively light area not in strong sunlight. This may kill, or cure it.
