Pale Sick 'Boo?

Post by steve-in-kville »

I have some 3 and 4 year Rufa plants that I had planted in a new flower bed a few years ago. The soil was pretty lousy. The boo never did do well, in fact, after this past winter all three plants were pale and and half dead (getting ran over by snow mobiles didn't help, either). I just transplanted them in my garden, fertilized them and keep 'em watered. Is there a chance they could become good plants again, or am I too late?

If they are alive, and you improved their conditions, they may improve. In my experience rufra takes a few years to get going, like a lot of plants.

Thanks for the reply. Time will tell. I did see one of them is throwing a shoot, so maybe we have a chance after all!
