I am also concerned about my purple shamrock. It's actually doing really well. It started this summer as two or three shamrocks from my friends Ben and Kendra. I worked at it a little this fall and got it up to about 8 and now it's growing like a weed (in a good way). I think I have a total of 15 to 20. It seems to think it's going to be spring soon. I hate to break it to the little plant, but this is Minnesota and we've got a long ways to go before spring. I just hope I can keep this plant alive. Ben and Kendra have had it for over 7 years.
My only other concern is that I hope the peony bushes beneath my bedroom window didn't survive the winter. I don't mind the ones beside the alley, but the ones under the window looked dead all last summer. I am wanting to put bleeding hearts or some other plants there. Maybe I will just dig them up anyways. Listen to me sounding like a gardener, when in fact I really don't enjoy the outdoors all the much!
the peonies will not die unless you dig them up. They are a curse. And they bloom in the spring, then die and look horrible and ugly all summer long. Stupid plants. I hate them. But love the smell. So you'll be stuck digging them up this spring :( But good luck. I'm excited to come and visit and see all your wonderful gardening skills!
