Did I kill it?

Post by Kas »

Well, I planted the little 'Sunset' oxalis I got at the garden show for Heather. And we had a hard frost (or two :oops: ) and now it is a bleached white pile of oxalis bones. Will the root survive? I haven't had the heart to tell Heather it is dead. At least it sure looks it. Anyone have any experience with this one? Is there hope?

Thanks,
Kas

Kas, ours die back to the ground and come back. If yours don't I now where you can get more, we have white and pink blooming ones.

KHT, this one was golden orange with yellow flowers. I am sure I can find another one somewhere. It's just that it was Heather's suprise from the garden show and cost $4.00. Here's hoping it comes back.

They do not like our normal frost thaw winters and only the very hardy ones - planted in sandy soil survive :cry:

Hope it come back
