I was captivated by the scent this spring and brought some home...again, and again, they failed. They looked and smelled really nice during the very cool weather, but now they're toast. I followed every bit of advice I could find, but they're still just sitting around looking absolutely awful. I finally turned most of them under and replanted the area, but I kept several in out of the way places...just to see if they'd ever recover. No signs of returned growth yet, and they've been sheared back for weeks! I still haven't a clue as to why these plants are so difficult for me.
