Has anyone compared results between Robin Hood and The Sutton ?

No sorry, I have only grown The Sutton, which has always been very productive for me.Nestled somewhere in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Good soil, strong winds and 4 Giant Puffballs!
Always aim for the best result possible not the best possible result

The RHS have trialed them both & they both have the award of garden merit,both good in containers too. Robin Hood a newer variety I think.

I grew Robin Hood in a couple of large containers last year, and they did well. I have seeds left and plan to sow the rest of them. The seeds were very expensive, the Sutton will be a lot cheaper. Robin Hood was really developed for containers I think.Mostly flowers, some fruit and veg, at the seaside in Edinburgh.Comment

I haven't grown Robin Hood but I grew The Sutton in a greenhouse bed over winter. They did really well for me.

I grew Sutton last year. Very prolific but got covered in aphids? I didn't know to pinch out the gruowingv tip, so maybe user error there!Comment
