Dead Eryngium?

Eryngium have heavy roots and don't really like being disturbed. This plant still has some green in the middle so might just survive yet. I would leave it for the moment but keep giving it plenty of water, particulary in this dry weather.

Thanks Bulbaholic. It's not dry here though, lol. Hasn't stopped raining for over a week. Grrrrrrrrrrrr. The soil looks a bit dry as I've just taken the pic in the dark with a flash, but I shall certainly do as you say.

Llew, your becoming addicted,fancy going out in the dark! You could do a slug hunt while your at it. lol

Well, I'm gobsmacked.

This plant really did look like it had given up, the green on the pic had gone. Tuther day I lifted it and planted a fuchia to fill the gap. But, not being one to give up too easily, I stuck it back in the soil in another spot just to see.

This morning, I swear there's a little green shoot/leaf coming up the middle. :o) I'll not move it again, but if it does live, it will have to be moved next year as it's right at the front of the bed now, lol.
