Daphnes have a rule that they only die once they've filled out beautifully and really grown into a space making their evergreen presence indispensable to the look of an area. At the height of their beauty and usually the day before you have an open garden or invite a bunch of bloggers over, the whole plant suddenly dies and leaves a gaping hole in your design scheme. It's what they do.Peter Herpstnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814656844817347020.post-1878483822115725252014-01-12T07:16:49.684-08:002014-01-12T07:16:49.684-08:00I feel your pain, Heather...

I let it bloom then cut back leafless parts. Mine is fairly sheltered, being off a slate patio and protected from wind though has some recent damage as well. Down to 7 last week. Was kinda hoping it will damage my fig - a golden one that does not taste very good but buds still seem pink. I did throw some leaves on it's trunk.<br />Do you want a package of echium wildpretti seeds I brought back from Spain? They are only just out of best by date. Don't have a place for it and don't think it will work here in zone 7 anyway.

I always try to remind myself that any plant can bite it at any time...the best we can do is give it the best possible chance...after that, it's up to chance. The best way to make a plant have a full recover is to buy its replacement ;-)Scott Webernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-814656844817347020.post-13022926848679564372014-01-10T09:54:14.915-08:002014-01-10T09:54:14.915-08:00Cruel indeed!
