Oh, Vossner. That is a pity. Any idea what caused it? Was it healthy one day, and dead the next? or more gradual dying over a course of several days? We live in the same climate zone - 9a - have you tried planting them in the ground? I have them tucked here and there throughout my yard. The sunnier spot ones started blooming about a month ago, the ones in the shadier area is starting to bloom now. Maybe you can try that so that one catastrophic event won't wipe out your whole crop? I don't do container gardening - mainly because all it takes is just one day of lack of water and the whole thing dies. In the ground, where there is a sink of water, must less chance of full scale dying off. Don't give up - try them in the ground next year. Once established, they will come back yearly. I picked this bouquet today just for you.
