Tassel flower - I bought the small plants and planted them 2 weeks ago. They are sup'd to grow about 18 inches long, on a slim stem, with a big red flower on the end.

After a few days the rabbits got them, bit their leaves. So I re-planted them behind a fence. I am always moving things and I know how to do it successfully, but maybe this plant is very unhappy at being moved.

So for over 10 days I been watching these guys, and there is NO sign of growth. They don't look dead, just nothing is happening. I know perhaps the roots are growing, but it seems a long time not to see the tiniest sign of life on top.

I don't know what the problem is, the rabbits or whatever it was, nibbled the leaves, they didn't pull them up or disturb the roots. So they should recover shouldn't they?

I am getting ready to toss them. GRrr.

Any idea?

thank you,
