Carol Dee, how did your sea holly perish? Mine is looking weird. It's bloomed for at least 5 years, but this year all of a sudden it wilted and some of the leaves dried up. Is that how yours acted before it perished?Thanks for the reminder @GardenGeisha ! My Sea Holly perished and I want to replace it. It was a favorite of mine as well as the bees.
Congrats @GardenGeisha for bagging this week's POW!
Wow! Yippee! I'm so thrilled and honored, and your posting my picture brought good luck! There is new growth today! I guess my cats just smashed it. Will protect with a basket while its new leaves are coming up. The cats love lying in the big, cool pot of dirt it's planted in, and I can't say much to them at all, because my cats are as pretty as any garden flowers. I watered my sea holly heavily about a week ago, when it looked dead and before it started re-emerging, and wondered about doing that, because these get root rot very easily, I read. But it's been an awfully warm spring. Perhaps it was dry? I've never had to water it before. Weird weather changes. Peony blooms only last a day or two. Not usually this hot during peony season...
