I planted 3 Coconut Lime plants last fall, only one came back ... is this normal?
Coconut Limes didn't come back this year ...
It's not normal to me unless they were planted in the fall or in pots. 100 % of mine returned in the ground, but nothing surprises me anymore. Does the one that came back look good? I rooted one last summer and it's blooming now before the parent plant. I just took a basal division of it.
They were planted with the more common purple variety, in the ground, early September. The one that appears to be trying to make a go at it is about 6 inches high, the purple ones are over two feet tall.
I think they are better if planted in the spring, but that is a bad percentage as far as return goes.
Pink Double Delight seems to be a much better plant, but they look so good together.
