Hello all,

Newbie gardener subscribing for your help please.

I bought this last year from Wyevale garden centre and planted them last summer. Over winter they died away and I trimmed them down to the ground. But nothing is coming through this year, I would have thought I would see some new growth?

Have they died completely? How can I tell?

This isn't the only plant that seems to have died. I think I have a black thumb, instead of green fingers, as two other plants have died too. :-(

One of the other plants that seems to have died is the Dahlia Bishop of Llandaff. I can't see anything, above ground.

I'm very sad as my father and mother are fantastic gardeners and I thought I might have some of there genes (joke) :-)

Please help.

Thanks
Ramesh

PS - I'll post pictures of them tomorrow.
