replans Albus dying off
I bought x4 of these plants last week from a local garden centre. I put
1 in a 14inch low pot which is doing ok, and the other 3 in my garden border. Out of those 3, 1 has almost died, with no leaves left on it, 1 is heading the same way, and the leaves are shrivelled, and the last one seems to be ok for now. Anyone know what is wrong; is it soil or something else. |

Did you water it in well after planting? Have you kept it watered since? See for example https://plantsforponds.co.uk/product...-reptans-albus Ooops yes it says on the label it is Mazus reptans Albus. When I went to the garden centre I was looking for ground covering plants, and saw these. I didn't know it was what you said, as it doesn't say it on the label. Yes I watered them in when I plated them, but didn't realise it had to be done almost daily. If they were watered daily, would that save them, or should Im look for something else. Thanks |

Maybe consider Ajuga reptans 'Alba' if you want fairly drought-resistant evergreen ground cover with white flowers. -- Jeff |
