I’m in zone 7b (New York City). I planted my coneflower last summer and watered it regularly until it wilted after the first frost. I know it’s not even April yet, but several other perennials who share a bed with the coneflower (salvia, yarrow, aster) have already developed plenty of lush and healthy-looking new spring foliage, while the coneflower and both varieties of coreopsis still just look like dead plants.
Are these species just later to come back from dormancy in the spring? Or should I be worried they won’t come back at all? Thanks!
