| I've lived at my present location for 36 years and my pachysandra has never succumbed to drought in all those years. I naively thought I could weather this drought (New Jersey)but after looking stressed for a few weeks, it threw in the towel and I have immense areas of brown stuff. Will it ever come back? Are there succulent roots hiding in the tangled mess of brown? Suggestions? |

| My experience with pachysandra is that the brown areas will quickly fill in next season as the healthy plants spread. This really was a dry growing season, wasn't it? |

| I had the same experience a few years ago. It did come back, but not as quickly as I hoped. It took the entire next summer before it looked the way it had in previous years. Just be patient and be willing to water it. Martha |
