I have lost too many cimicifigas to count. They seem to die at the
slightest provocation, with all kinds of symptoms, and for no reason at
all, sometimes. Don't blame yourself. I actually know one gardener who
grows them successfully (the common sort, not the fancy ones) by ignoring
them. Sort of a tough love philosophy. Seems to work for her. They come
back year after year and look great in her yard. But the average person
is going to come to grief with them. They are MUCH fussier than is
generally acknowledged. You have my condolences but nothing more
constructive.
