| Last night we got a frost that I did not know about. I have some 4 1/2" pots of New Guinea Impatiens that I was unable to plant because of the rain, well after the frost last night a few of them look really bad. I dont know what to do to try and save them or if it is even possible. A few of them look fine on the bottom its just the top leaves that look wilted an browned. But I have one which just happened to be the one my husband picked out that is just all droopy all over, Is there anyway to save these, Should I plant them now anyways? They are just so beautiful that I dont want to lose them before I even get to plant them....Thank You |

I would definitely give them some time to recover and sprout new leaves before I chucked them, but possibly keep them in pots so that you don't add to their stress for a week or two if they're not root bound. Even if you get a 50% save rate it's better than nothing at all. I'll cross my fingers they hang in there for you dcd.
