In FL, plants do not recover over summer. Some barely survive! Our summers are brutal, and springs can get really hot early. That's why I normally purchase plants in Nov./Dec. so they have time to get established during the coolness of the winter. I'm quite concerned about the 2 plants I bought in March, that's why I'll cut scapes. Planting in March is insanity as far as I am concerned. But I did it anyway.
