Dead and/or Gone:

Delosperma ‘Jewel of Desert Peridott’ Ice Plant  Bought on sale in Fall, must not have gotten a good footing before the winter, 95% died so I replaced with phlox.

Globularia trichosantha - Globe Daisy, arrived very small and immediately began wilting and then turned brown - assuming shock from being in a box for 4 days and then transplanted outside. Asked for my money back but haven't heard back yet.

Hibiscus moscheutos 'Luna Red' - In mid spring and this is still a dried white husk, doesn't look like it's coming back. Probably attributed to transplanting from pot to the ground too late in the Fall for it to root.

'Silver Mist' Variegated Mondo Grass - Ophiopogon japonicus
Not sure if this had a chance to root in the Fall, it's all brown and not waking up. I transplanted it to the back bed. I think it's borderline hardy in this area so it might have gotten too cold without a good footing.

Rainforest Sunrise Plantain Lily - Hosta 'Rainforest Sunrise'
Bought this on sale in the Fall and I guess it didn't root in before the cold, we're already into May and it's shown no signs of life.

Bressingham Blue Plantain Lily - Hosta 'Bressingham Blue'
Bought this on sale in the Fall and I guess it didn't root in before the cold, we're already into May and it's shown no signs of life.

Dryopteris erythrosora 'Brilliance' Autumn Fern
Bought this on sale in the Fall and it was evergreen most of winter. But it didn't come back in the Spring. Too bad, I spent so much time trying to identify this fern and now it's gone gone gone.

Weeping Japanese Maple - Acer palmatum
Not sure what exact kind, dark green leaves, dwarf, weeping. Roots sat in water near a downspout and rotted out

Purple Coneflower - Echinacea purpureua 'Prairie Splendor' - Removed diseased plant, it appeared to have Aster Yellows disease and could be spread to other plants, this is why it never produced full blooms and had a weird appearance.
