It’s May And My Blanket Flowers Haven’t Started Greening Or Anything. Are They Dead?

I live in CT and I planted about 8-9 Blanket flower plants last summer and they were beautiful. In the fall I cut them back to about 2 inches. I’s May and nothing is happening. The salvia planted in-between them has greenery coming up but nothing from any of the blanket flowers. No green at all. Did all the plants die?

It's possible they are late to break dormancy if you had a cold winter, but blanket flower is a short-lived perennial so it's possible they won't return. Mine only came back a year or two. Here are some tips on overwintering to help them return:
