Alice, if it has that much damage you might want to rethink keeping that cultivar. How long has it been since they were planted in that container? Sometimes it is an indication that the soil is compacting, and the roots are dying.
Melissa, I knew you usually get a lot more snow than I do down here at 400 ft. in Oregon City.
As we go through these next months of growing season, I will keep an eye out for others that do not stand out in the beds. I know each has its best time of the year for being a big stand out, watching for the ones that extend that stand out season.
Took these photos Monday.
'Anka', very velvety and oh so healthy.
'Borscht', love the winter form of this one, starting to color.
'Bros', so pretty year-round, just not a good grower.
'Chocolate Dip', nothing bothers this fuzzy/sticky one.
'Green Ice', another fuzzy one that nothing bothers.
'Hatra', another one with beautiful winter form and health.
After looking at these photos up close, I can see that the slugs are waking up and snacking again. I went out and sprinkled the beds with slug bait that is safe for birds and pets.
