Summer Carnival being weird again this year.
Almost July and about a 2" tall skinny little stalk.
The others are not as big as last year either. Fewer stalks overall.
And this is after using my special food on them.
It is a very weird gardening year. That and a lot of dead perennials and shrubs because of the cold snap we had in Spring. Crape Myrtle - dead. Double Knockout rose tree - dead, butterfly bush - dead, black and yellow grasses - dead, other rose bushes massive die-off but hanging in there, same for a lot of azaleas and rhodies, lots of death within each plant (some up to 75% of branches), but signs of life persist. Same for heucheras. Even vinca minor had a massive die-off.
I am beginning to find out who the tough plants really are. I should be thankful the hibiscus came back at all, really.
for lots of blooms in Summer to make up for a poor Spring.
