When I planted my yuccas outside last year they were big and healthy and just a lush green with a golden sword.
But now they are yellow brown, No green they are dry and and they are chewed by rabbits.
But what caused it?? The winter! Im lucky I have seeds.
I can't belive it! I only have one plant left which is my hosta. Total of $950.00 of pricey plants
gone now 🙁

You have my sympathies. I sometimes wonder whether it is worth it to put more $ in the ground. I am beginning to look at grass again.
I don't know yet how many I will lose but it could get ugly.

Well I am going to plant a few more plants like a Jack in the Pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum)
I just hope it does well.
I will show photos of the yuccas.
It was 21C yesterday and it did not help any yuccas.
Well Im not giving up yet.

Sorry to hear about your plant losses. 🙁 Most of the time y. filamentosa will grow back from the roots.

This plant is like weed in my yard. I have dug them up numerous times figuring I have all of the roots and before I know it I have another plant growing.
They will regrow for sure.

Oh my God, what a shame...is there a chance they'll come back? I sure hope so.
I share your pain.
