Apparently dead gazanie

Hi,

I am new and I joined the thread to find an expert to help me understand my problem.

For two winters in a row, my gazanie survived the English winter and they used to grow absolutely amazing during the summer.

This winter though they recently and suddenly wilted. It may be due to more than usual raining or to some bug I am not aware about. However the roots are not rotten and they appear alive to me! They is an abundant presence of woodlouse though, which doesn't look good to me.

I wonder, is there any chance they can grow back? Maybe should I move them in a pot and hope they can be saved?

    the woodlice won't have killed it but they may be eating the dead stuff.

    Buds at the top are what you need for survival. Has it got any of those?



    In the sticks near Peterborough

    thanks for the answer, almost nothing is left, just the roots and some very dry stick

    They look dead to me. I live in Dordogne in France and the winters can be colder than England. I've never had a gazania that has survived the winter. I wonder if you could be French or Italian as you call them gazanie?

    They are usually grown as annuals. Fairly cheap to buy, plant new ones every year.

    I know, they are not always cheap, since I had some fancier ones, but it's ok, I just hoped since they survived for more than 2 years.
