Hello everyone,
Last March I planted some liatris corms. They were doing incredibly well in full sun all day and were just a beautiful deep lavender. They grew to be about 3 feet tall. However, in the last 2 weeks, the flower beads have been turning gray and the stalks are just dying! The bottom portion of the plant seems to be healthy, but I can grab the stalk and with almost no effort, just remove it from the plant- rendering it trash!! Has anybody else had this problem? They're dropping like flies and I'm heart broken. Is this a normal life span for the flower stalk or is this the result of extreme heat/bad soil/garden pests?
Thank you for your help!
