Help! My woolly blue curls are looking sad!
I’ve been really successful with keeping woolly blue curls for years ( up near the Verdugos ), despite it being hotter up here when it’s hot everywhere, and colder here when it’s cold. And windy AF! These are all about 3-4 years old and blooming like crazy. For some reason, I forgot to cut them back this winter and they’re a bit rangy. More worrisome is that the leaves are yellowing, and I don’t know if it’s a not-enough-water problem or too much. I generally put them on slow drip about once a week, which was fine literally until about a week ago. Do they need more because they are flowering so much? Is it too later to cut them back? Suggestions appreciated. Fwiw, we also have silver bush lupines that are kicking ass and they’ve been so hard to keep alive in other places we’ve lived in LA. They just keep making babies every year!
