TB's in the ground for two years. Their foliage and blooms have been

rippling. I have done a lot of reading and have found nothing to explain
this. I would appreciate any help as to what this could be and how I can
treat it. >>
Hello, Michelle. Welcome to the list! Nice to have you with us here.
It is a bit hard to diagnose from your description but most cases of
"rippling" are the result of fluctuations in growth speed within the leaves,
or something similar. Sometimes they get caught when they are emerging one
from another and this can cause some distortion, too. Most of this is a
response to enviromental things, like a couple of hot days causing a growth
spurt. Some varieties tend to catch their leaves more than others.
If the color of the leaves is good and they look healthy otherwise, I would
not worry too much about it. If they don't look wholesome, or they are
falling over or something, then there is some other problem here besides the
rippling.
Again, welcome aboard.
