Hello, My annuals from last year still havn't passed on. I have snapdragons, fuschia, and verbenas with buds that are still trying to bloom. They're in a weird little micro-climate between my house and garage, which is pretty protected from the prevailing south-east winds. An "indoor" azalea, and a tropical umbrella plant also live in this area. Anyways, my wife was wondering if we'll have to pull our annuals and replant new ones in the spring or if they will continue growing and somehow re-bloom?
As far as my knowledge goes, all three: snapdragons, fuchsia, and verbenas are tender perennials. That means they can live for more than two years (often many years) in the climate that is not too cold for them, like for example, in your garden. Normally you do not up-root your perennials after just first season. Unfortunately, I can't give you an advice how to deal with them in their second year. Living in a harsh climate, where they are not able to survive the winter, I don't have personal experience with growing them as perennials. Hopefully someone else will help.
Okay, that would explain it. Hmmmm... Changes plans for the whole space. I wonder if I can relocate them.
