Anyone lose any plants this winter?

Maybe you ought to give them a lil more time.
It is pretty early yet.. ANd not everything emerges at the same time.

Lost my canna lilies - yet again. I brought them inside but still they are dry and rotten I don't know what I do wrong with them. This is the second time I lost them all.

 

Did you did the lilys up first?

I let mine right in the soil in the pot.....I think they are still there.. I didnt take out the pot yet to the outside.

 

Yes, I dug mine out of the ground and put it in a bag of peat moss and put it in the garage.I think canna lilies don't like me

 

I dont do that ..Just put the whole pot in the basement.

 

not sure but i may have lost an elephant ear although i have 3 different spots they grow in and they seem to be coming up at different times. One spot isnt doing anything yet...

not sure why but i have one of those fancy Rembrandt tulips that are white and red and named after a painter or something and they didnt bloom up this year. The leaves are all floppy, anyone know why tulip leaves fall over?

 

You dont say your zone.

Maybe the heat.. Lots of plants droop in the hot sun.

Mine froze a little bit.

Sorry to hear of that .....

 

So far things seem OK but if we keep getting too much rain I most likely will loose some from being too wet...Of course I bought some more daylilys because I had planned on some not making in and they should be delivered in a few weeks....

 

I lost a few shrubs thanks to rabbits eating all the bark off them. I had to remove the skeletal remains of a burning bush and a Weigelia.

Those darn rabbits also chewed on a Smoke Tree but it is struggling to survive. Then they chewed on a ServiceBerry tree and *gasp* my beautiful Eastern Redbuds. Luckily they will survive minus a few branches.

*note to self*
Next year, I WILL remember to put chicken wire all around the trees and shrubs.

 

bsewnsew, if the plants are skinny, it might be they're not getting enough light.

Alyssum is an annual up here too. to overwinter it, we just let it self seed.

 

I just found out that I've lost my Iris pumila.

 

I think most of my tiny lily plants commit suicide.

 

:'( I'm really sorry about your Iris pumila Droopy. I'm still waiting for my Russian Sage to show a sign of life and 3 of my Roses. I'm also wondering about my short Shasta's. :'(

 

No, not the lilies, Barb? Oh dear, bushes are so hard to loose. We lost half our Syringa the other year. They leave such huge empty spaces. I hope your shastas are just late.
