Virginia Bluebells, Mertensia virginica - Did I lose it?

Agawam, MA(Zone 6a)

In May I purchased the plant, planted in my garden. It flowered & then disappeared. I have some plants that do that every year or did I lose the plant due the rain & amount of slugs that I've encountered this year in my garden. Any help you could offer would be appreciated.
Thanks

Apparently they go dormant after blooming:

I bought the same one this year and the man who sold me warned me of this. His words: "Mark it or by July you'll never know it even existed." I marked it and am so glad I did!!!

threegardeners & pixie62560, I've been away visiting friends, so please excuse the late thank you for the answers to my questions. Luckly I know where I planted my Blue Bells, at least I hope so.
Thanks
Debbie
