I quite often have had "rot' issues in the re bloomer beds....but,here at least, it seems to be a "different" rot....I* think* the reason is the 'un-bloomed "stalks that had started the previous fall, and, the stalks that DID bloom, and were removed, never had time to "scab over". That "condition" seldom seems to hurt them very much, long term, but, it's still not a good thing ! I'm going to dig and separate one rebloomer bed this year, and I will have some Clarence......it's one that seemed to come through the winter in fine shape....so if you want some, just let me know. That's the only one I grow, of what you have lost. *mail* me if you want any.
