I cant get them to last through the winter???????/
What am I doing wrong???
The first year... I planted them later in the year... well about this time... they only got to be about a foot tall...I dumped mulch on them...thinking that was enough...but the next spring they were dead
next year...i planted again... and same thing they didnt get very big... i dug them up and wintered them over the house and replanted them again... the following spring...they got to be about 3.5-4 ft tall and built a chicken wire cage around them and filled it with much...and wraped with plastic.. this past spring unovered them and nothing...they were dead again?????
Im thinking about trying it one more time???
i have heard people dig the plants up and cutting them back and storing them in the basement?? how does this work???
also heard....fill a old trash can with much and flip it over the stalk...and pin it down...??? does that work???
I seen there was someone in New Lenox....and thats not far from me...and either is chicago....there plants live... I really dont want to have to wrap with christmas lights and stuff like that...
any ideas would be GREAT
Does it just get to cold here to just wrap and mulch??
thanks everyone
