 * Symbol voting keep.svg Big enough (barely), created in enough time, neutral (can a plant article be POV??), googling three random phrases turned up no copyvios, and per this CorenSearchBot shows no issues with copyvio. Couple of problems with the first hook - I think you mean "gardeners can replace", and the actual sentence that most closely supports the hook is uncited - "Plants grown this way can be used to replace older plants when they die." The ALT hook is fine (after I added a citation to the actual sentence - so we don't get complaints about the "hook fact not having an inline citation on it, since one of my DYK noms just got a hook refused for that problem).
 * Couple of things that aren't required for the nom, but would be nice - convert templates on the measurements, link for lectotype, is it an annual or perennial, and as a gardener is it grown anywhere else besides the UK and Australia? Ealdgyth - Talk 13:55, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
