why haven't my flowers come back yet?
I'm in the chicago area, and we have had 50's/30's lately. We did get snow last weekend, and each morning it has frosted.
I planted my first landscape plants & flowers last spring. They did great all the way until the snow came! I planted 2 different hostas, day lillies and whatever the Home Depot breast cancer pink re-blooming plant was (anyone remember the name?) That was an annual.
I did nothing to them last fall. The leaves turned brown & wilted away. The stems are still there, too. Should I have done something to each?
My neighbor has a thousand big hostas already coming up. He split most of them last year and replanted. Those are even coming up. Other neighbors have flowers coming up,too.
Why aren't mine? What should I have done in the fall? What can I do now? Should I just wait longer? Or dig them all up & start over?
Re: why haven't my flowers come back yet?
I am not that far north of you and the hostas on our property have not yet started to come up. Our tulips' leaves are only about 6 inches out of the ground and no sign yet of any buds.
Like the PP said, give it time.
I'm 4 hours south of you and none of my hostas have started to grow yet.
I just noticed my daylilies were starting to poke up, but they typically don't bloom until June.
There's plenty of time!
