    I have/had 3 of them growing last year. And there's no sign of life in any of them. Is it still too early? Or did our "two days of winter" kill them?
    I'm in Zone 9a and we've have a very mild winter. Temps only got below freezing a few times and for only a few hours.
    Anybody else see signs of life in theirs?

    It's typically a late returner, one of mine is showing some life but the other one is still just standing there. Last year it was sometime in May before I saw any green on it.

    Oh and the one that is greening up now went through the cold, snowy, ice winters we had most recently...last year and year before. It was in a pot then and came back like gang busters after sitting under snow for several days.

    Thanks Toni. I really do like them and would hate to think they wouldn't return for me. Guess it's time to try some much needed patience! :stew2:
