Posted by kevin on Friday, April 17, 2009 11:53 AM ADTHello, i bought some root stock for the 1st time last fall i planted it based on the instructions they were covered with mulch and leaves for protection I have uncovered them i am in zone 6a (london ontario)temperature the last few days has been 15-18 celsius (59-64 F) I am wondering if some didn't survive or if i am just being impatient as i haven't seen anything poking up yet here is what i am waiting on: 1) Giant Hardy Phlox - a number of varieties 2) Butterfly mix - Asclepias tuberosa 3 varieties 3) Astilbe 4 types 4) Hardy Cyclamen 5) Hardy Fern - not sure what varieties

Posted by Erin on Saturday, April 18, 2009 11:16 PM ADTYou're probably just a little impatient. I'm just outside London, and my astilbies have only started poking up the last couple of days. It may also take your plants a bit longer because they were only planted last fall, or if they are in shade.
