I gave up on two, day before yesterday, that I'd been "nursing"....neither one was rotted, and both were still "solid", but both of them (planted last year) were "stuggling" all last summer and fall, did a poor job of leafing out this spring, and gradually lost what little "greenery" they had. I hated to do it, as they were both rebloomers I wanted to see grow, but, enough is enough ! So, I yanked the rhizomes, and gave them the "pitch".....maybe I'll try them again, next year
