Well, I am officially calling these Albury Purples, goners!!! I have 3 of them planted here right in the front of the bed. The one on the left is trying to leaf out. The other two are just twigs. Why is it always the stuff right in front??? I have trillium planted between them and they have all made it. I placed this planter here so, the bare spot is not so big, but also because it's raised about 10" and the trillium can continue to grow under it.

In my case it may have been the nasty winter or it could be the voles. Won't know until they're dug. The other varieties are all trying to grow, some doing quite well. I think I spyed the second Tri-color leafing out today. A few more days will tell if that's it, when they start to color up or not.
