CLOSED: Wanted: Bleeding Heart - Clerodendrum thomsoniae
Be patient - mine hasn't come back, yet, either, but it will.
I don't think it will because the base of the plants are black and rotten. I haven't dug it up yet though.
I have had potted plants that were 'dead' - I set them back in the potting area, intending to empty and clean them - lo and behold, a YEAR later, I see green - NOW, one of my very expensive vines has come back from the roots and is about 10" tall. I would normally have tossed the soil and dead plant, but life got in the way, and it didn't get done. NOW I am happy I didn't pitch it. After 50 years of growing plants, I've learned not to cut down nor toss so quickly.
I'm pretty much the same way for plants I'm really familiar with - I usually wait til they compost themselves - like my Hedychium horsfieldii .. stupid me left it out all winter not realizing it was the horsfieldii I grew from seed. It apparently froze to death and apparently composted it self.
Amen, Kay! I now have learned to tug gently on my 'presumed dead' plants - if they hold back a little, I feed them and say a garden prayer over them. Even when they pull up easily from the soil... I've found that i actually have a viable plant afterall (last night I pulled up two ??? that actually had a green leaf emerging on each one).
so you never know!
I've got stuff right now in a special 'nursery' part of my garden to see if i can bring them back to life.
I love gardening ;-)
LOL, Cajun - my whole yard is a 'wait-and-see' after the last couple of winters - oui!
There ya go! I've been on a sebatical (sp?) last couple of years, and struggled a few years before that.
I FINALLY have my garden to myself (long story) and kind of gotten over being so disheartened by some of what happened.
SO thankful to get this drive back and get my therapy again from digging in the dirt, watching things grow and I'll never lose my amazement I don't think.
The two ??? I pulled up last night... I don't even know for sure what they can be LOL
Fun City!
