pirl said:Andrew - many of mine sound like yours, short (some wimpy) and not as tall as I'd expect. Some of us are going through this right now. I don't know if we're too anxious to see progress.

I have some around my Limelight hydrangea as well!

Mine were all planted with a handful of Superphosphate so I'd have thought I'd get more growth by now.

I'm hesitant to recommend any supplement since I don't know if it's our weather (too dry but our irrigation system goes on four times a week, 45 minutes each zone) or if there's another reason for it. Hopefully, someone will post with a remedy.


Mine finally picked up like a week after my last post and having been growing really steady.

Here's one that I got from Lowes, half dead and half price. Thrived once I got it in the ground.

Tag said it was Go Go Peach. It's gained about 6 inches and always has blooms and buds.

My temptation Dahlia I got from Lowes at the same time hasn't grown an inch but constantly has new buds and flowers, I didn't snap a shot of that.

I'm astonished how thick the stalk(is that the right word?) is on this one.
