I planted two beautiful Lobelia Cardinal Flower plants in June in memory of our 29 year old Nephew who died of cancer in May. He loved the St. Louis Cardinals. 😊. Both plants have done very well and are still blooming. But this afternoon I checked them and one was totally broken at the base and lying on the ground. 😢 The stems and leaves and flowers were all fine. Could the wind have snapped the whole plant. The other just two feet from it was fine. Wondering if the plant will come back from the root next Summer?
Thanks from a Dave's Gardener newbie.
