how to revive heather shrub
I let my new heather shrub dry out (still potted) and was wondering if anyone knows how I might revive it. The flowers are completely dry and the evergreen is completely dry, gone brown. Is it possible to revive? If so should I trim the parts of the plant that is the driest? Any advice would help. Thank you.
Hi Daisy
It sounds like it might be too far gone but its always worth a try. Cut it back by about half so you are not right down into the old wood but nearly. Then give it a reasonable amount of water pref rain water. Not too much as it will just rot any remaining live roots and wait about two weeks for signs of green growth...good luck!
