    It survived the winter but the leaves are tiny and in clumps.
    Should I dump it?

    In the absence of any suggestions, I'm going to dump it on the assumption that it has some ,as yet, undiagnosed disease but it looks more like fasciation to me. In any case, it's not likely to come to much.
    I have diascia plugs just waiting in the wings.

      It does look a bit like fasciation and plants often grow out of that.
      But if its worth waiting to find out is another matter.:smile:

        I wouldn't bin it, as it's not terminal for the plant. it looks strange but plants tend to grow out of it
