I think this is characteristic of reticulatas in warmer, wetter climates. A few return the
second year, and by the third year, they are completely pooped
out.
My only 'casualty' has been BEFORE THE STORM; looked
like a case of scorch last week, but I cleaned around it, and it is
sending up little yellowish-green shoots so now maybe it will
recover. I don't expect bloom on it, though. Maybe its children
MIDNIGHT OIL and ANVIL OF DARKNESS will make-up for their
parent's near demise.
