It's pretty hardy - goes through winters here no trouble. I believe it should take winter temperatures anywhere in the UK. Was it growing well last year? Some people report problems with slugs, although mine don't seem to suffer particularly.

It hasn’t grown well at all, not even last year. Maybe it was a sickly plant to start with or yes, maybe the slugs got it. 😞

Thanks, this is helpful. I planted skirret seedlings a couple of years ago, but looks like it has died as nothing looking like the leaves or roots is growing. Is it hardy? We didn’t have a bad winter here in Scotland!
