The plant arrived in poor condition.

Thank you for sharing your review of your Pyromania® 'Solar Flare' Red Hot Poker. We can assure you that what you are seeing is normal. Our Proven Winners plants are grown in southeast Michigan where things are getting colder, and plants are beginning their dormancy process. During dormancy, plants go inactive and conserve their energy for the next growing season. This happens naturally as seasons and weather change. Plants shift into dormancy because of cold weather, fewer hours of sunlight exposure, shorter days, and expectations developed from previous seasonal cycles.

Things You May Notice:

~Yellowing/browning leaves
~Spots
~Thinning foliage (leaf drop)

We recommend planting this as soon as possible.Our plants are acclimated to the outdoors and will be the happiest in the ground! When the weather conditions begin to transition and get warmer next season, your dormant plants will wake up and return to business as usual!

Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any further questions!

Sincerely,
PWD Team
