I planted 6 Vinca minor 'Atropurpurea' in Nov. They were delivered in 9cm pots. I planted 3 at one end of the border and 3 right at the other end. I think the slugs must have got to them as in one corner they seem to have had their leaves munched within a couple of weeks. The other 3 lasted a lot longer with leaves but are now also looking rather pathetic. (I don't know how much of this is simply due to the winter.)
Three of them are now completely leafless (see 1st pic), two of them have 1 or 2 leaves and the 2nd pic shows the plant that's doing best. What are the chances of them recovering? If I have't seen any new growth by a certain month should I give up? (Which month?)
