Notice
It's springtime, and your plants are slowly waking up after their cozy winter rest! While they may still look bare or lifeless right now, don't worry — they're not dead, just dormant. This is a natural stage as the soil warms and days grow longer.

You may not see much new growth yet, but below the surface, roots are getting active and preparing to send out fresh shoots and leaves. Each region warms up at its own pace, so your plants will "wake up" when conditions are just right in your area.

Keep caring for them as instructed in our planting guide, and with a little patience, your plants will come back lush and beautiful in no time.
