Help!

Fingers crosssed that it will come through. If a harsh winter with as much snow as we have had didn't kill it, I doubt you have managed. it will grow again. Have faith x

I hope your plant survives Arlene :o) x

thanks TT and Great~
I hope so too~ I feel like a real villain!

hopefully the prune will have done it good Arlene.You did right to get rid of the dead wood.......

I hope it will resprout for you like clematis do. Its the chilean bellflower isnt it?

If there is still some green in the stems it is undoubtedly still alive! :-) If you leave it alone for a bit you may well see new growth - especially when the weather warms up more during May.

Fingers crossed it recovers soon. :-)

I had 5 Fuchsias Thalia. 1 in each of 5 baskets, I thought all 5 had died when I pruned them back a month or so ago. But I think 2 may have pulled through after all. I haven't checked on the baskets in the last week so maybe they have sprouted & will flower again this year. Fingers crossed! :-)

I spend time every day checking bits of twig and empty pots for signs of life. Like you Arlene, I am sure as soon as I decide to dig them up, they will burst into life.
Good luck
Linda

~ I know just what you mean!I am sure I have thrown fuchsias which were probably not dead but just dormant ,but you can't keep trays of plants which aren't doing anything in the hope they will suddenly burst into life~

I hope your plant recovers, Arlene.
I have lost a Chilean potato plant, a cistus, pittosporum,4 hebes, a dahpne (but that was on the way out anyway) an acer, 4 escallonias, and some fuchsias, but quite a few are recovering.

I wish I could get rid of the dreaded bamboo....................

Thanks Rachelsmum~
as usual some of my labels have come out of their pots and a plant started growing four stems ~ I thought was alliums untio it started to arch beautifully..... sometimes the surprises are more interesting!

`The wonders of nature Arlene..... i am sure it will be okay! That is what
gardening is all about some failures, but overcome by lovely suprises..
I too, am keeping my fingers crossed, that it will recover for you...

I am sure it will be happy now that all it has to do is make new buds instead of trying to heal old wounds...good for you...

Just looked it up Arlene. Very pretty and pricey. No wonder you were cossetting your Lapageria!!!! I thought I was unlucky with my Bonariensis and nearly threw them out ,but they making shoots now from base and stem. They were freebies from between the paving cracks

I moved my hanging baskets with Fuchsias from the interior of the balcony to the exterior. I was right in that 2 Thalia plants have survived. :-) I hadn't checked them in several weeks so I'm very happy that 2 at least have pulled through! :-)
