| I had a perennial black eyed susan that dried out in a pot before I could plant it in the ground. a few days of not watering while I was away. Do you think it will come back if I plant it in the ground now or should I see if I can get it to come back in the pot first. thanks |

| the answer is probably in the roots themselves ... tip it out of the pot.. if the roots are cooked ... it probably a goner.. if the roots look OK.. look very closely where it comes out of the media.. if there is some green.. MAYBE it has a chance .. jsut put it back in the pot... and water it ... may i guess?? .. this pot was out in full sun ???? .. and its a rather small pot.. compared to the size of the plant??? cant go any further w/o a pic ken |

| I would put it in the ground, water and hope. Pot culture is much fiddlier and less forgiving than in-ground growing. |

| I agree with Flora. The roots would be much cooler in the ground. |

| If you don't want to take it out of the pot, plant the pot completely in the ground. I have done this many times to save the plant. When I dig up the pot later some have rooted into the soil, and you will sacrifice those roots, but save the plant. Al |
