When should I start seeing any sign of red hot pokers coming back? I live in southeastern pennsylvania. Thanks

Question

I planted these last summer in half barrels on my deck and they looked great. I cut them down late fall and wrap the barres with burlap to help keep the roots from getting to cold. I thought I would be seeing some new sprouts by now and see nothing. I am worried they did not survive the winter.

Answer 1

It's still quite early and I would still give these plants more time.
Review the planting directions in the link below to make sure they were planted properly and wait and see!
