I have a Siberian, RUFFLED VELVET, who was planted last July and
is shorter than your INDY. I don't expect much the first year on
any Siberians because of my Zone....altho' some toss up a bloom
the first year. I know you are giving it lots to drink and keeping
the ground around it cool and lightly mulched to keep it moist.
If the plant doesn't look 'sick' and was planted deeper the
TBs, it will probably right itself later. In your zone, consi-
derably warmer than here, it really should be taller and more
alive than you described it. INDY is very vigorous as a rule.
Hope it does better since a clump of INDY is a sight to behold.
Cheers,
Ellen
