Gardening in mostly deep shade in Zone 6. My passion is adding more native plants to my landscape & clearing out the foreign invasives.

Can someone help me please? This lovely #trueblue plant has stopped blooming and is withering away. Is it in too much sun? Does it need to sit in water? What am I doing wrong? #plantadvice

@ambitiouswolf & @johnson8301 both have these plants listed in the encyclopedia pictures section. They might be able to help? My thoughts would be to un-pot, investigate & refresh the soil. 💙

I only bought it a couple days ago. Could the soil be exhausted already, @KariSamuel ?

Is this not the same one that you posted 4 weeks ago? But, even a bigger reason to investigate if it has suddenly failed on you.

I don’t have it any more. Unfortunately I couldn’t keep it going either.

@emch @ambitiouswolf @KariSamuel I have several in different places and very different soils , one in very shallow soil near my pond , several in pots as underfillers . Generally they just flower and flower no special treatment needed. This year a couple suffered from the winter frosts so I’ve just chopped them right back and given them some liquid feed.

Yes, @KariSamuel and it started looking sickly within a couple of days...
