Solomon's seal and husband in the doghouse

[quickscribble]

He's just strimmed a massive patch of it, right to the ground, I'm so upset and cross. It can be cut back in the Autumn but what will happen now? It probably won't flower next year will it? It had been there for years, naturalising in a shady lovely woodland setting.

I think it should flower next year, some people cut them back early. Hope so anyway.

If it’s an old plant, it’s probably got enough energy in its roots to flower next year, even though it’s lost-a season’s photosynthesis. But make sure he doesn’t do it again next year.

Mine usually gets chomped bare by the sawfly. Comes back fine every year.

My husband was once similarly in the doghouse for butchering my camellia instead of trimming the ivy up the fence.

Ten years. Ten years it took, before my poor camellia was even half its former self. I have never forgiven him.

Mine is also eaten by sawfly, but returns every year.
My DH pulled up a solitary Feverfew that I’d been nurturing, he then tried to replant it 😂. However, the next year loads appeared in the same spot!

I opened the thread hoping that 'husband in the doghouse' was a plant name.
