So has it leafed out yet? This summer with its odd temp swings (many of them lower than normal)I think has really confused many plants.

On a different yet related note, I had started a couple hardy hib (H. mos.) from cuttings a couple years ago. Planted them in pots as it was too late in the year to plant them where I wanted too (friend's house several hours away) and I had no place to try overwintering indoors. They didn't come up so figuring they just didn't make it, unpotted them and put them back in the dame holes to fill that spot in. They still haven't done anything but oddly enough, the roots at the surface are STILL green and solid. Weird.

It could be a bug problem, leaf rollers got to mine. So far as of july I have 3 leaves and the plant its self is only about 6 inches tall. By next year its probably a gonner. I would try to dig it up, but theirs some poision ivy there and I dont want to risk it. Even the cannas have holes on some of their leaves.

Good luck
