burn wet leaves like you described (what about those freaky summer
showers when it's still sunny?) I just don't understand how one clethra
plant is fine and the other is crispy when they're so close.
It's so hard to lose a plant when you're starting a garden from
scratch (house=new construction last year) and you have such hope. I
take everyone's assurances about how big my perennials will grow to
heart and I feel like I just killed this clethra. weep. :(
Any other ideas? TIA
