Sheldon, I just checked the corm this morning.... It was there, BUT the top layer of "skin" came right off and there were clear, white thrip-like critters all over under there .... It even had 2 little corm coming. I threw it away, I didn't want to infest any of my other plants. I would be very happy to take you up on your offer, and let me buy one from you. Since I now know that they are hardy to zone 5 (NY) I will plant it in my garden. Thanks, Thom

A previous responder may be right. It might just be going into dormancy. If it dies down, check the corm. It may be fine. If not, I'll be happy to send you one of mine.

Well I only fertilized with a small amount..... And def not bugs! I (unfortunately) know and seen the effects of all different types of bugs... I've worked several greenhouses in the last 10 years.... It looks as if the plant is dying slowly, the "stem" is now looking weary.
Sent from my iPhone Could be fertilizer burn. Or bugs. Is the plant grown indoors? Do you see anything on the underside of the leaf? Sheldon Hatheway <s*@yahoo.com> wrote: Thom,
I don't know what's happening to your Dracunculus. I do have a question for you. What zone do you live in? Dracunculus are perfectly hardy outside (in the ground) here in Canby, OR zone 7B. Mine have survived near zero winters a couple of times and the inflorescence on one was 20" long and over 12" wide!! Quite spectacular (an opinion not necessarily shared by my downwind neighbor!). I usually mulch mine with a few inches of leaves if the weather gets really cold.
Good growing!
