    Questions first :)
    Is that a shady spot? How long has it been in that container? How long have you had it fleeced? Is the container adequately drained? Have you continued watering through the winter?

      Hi,

      The pots have morning sun and have grown there successfully for 2 years (I put them in those pots last spring)- last winter they where fleecd with no problem. I fleeced them Nov - March. I didn't water but kept checking the soil and they appeared damp in both pots. The pots have drainage holes. I have not fed them since I changed pots.
