| When should I expect to see some signs of life from my panicum ruby ribbons in central CT.I am sooo anxious to see if they survived this horrible winter! |

| P.v.'Ruby Ribbons' is rated as cold as zones 3 or 4, so if it was well established, it should come back. One of it's parents is P.v. 'Heavy Metal' which is my last Panicum to re-emerge, so maybe 'Ruby Ribbons' inherited that trait. |

| Donn...I planted several pots in the fall...mulched well,I hope.Left 1 or 2 in the pots.Keeping my fingers crossed.How late do you usually see "heavy metal" reappear? |

| Panicums are very hardy and generally very slow out of sleep...I'd bet they're fine and will emerge early May. |

| Hooray!! Today I uncovered their 1st signs of life .Teeny tiny new shoots about 1/4" tall emerging. Now I can put away my magnifyng glass, well for these grasses anyway!Also my pennisetum "hamelin" is back! So far everything is present and accounted for! |
