For proof, one need look no farther than the artemisia schmidtiana or silver mound plant. It has the cannot-be-killed strength of the cockroach but in a far more attractive package. My oldest granddaughter picked a small silver mound as her addition to our gardens. She left the little plant in a small, blue plastic pot with me to plant. I didn't.
On a future visit, she said she would plant it if I just showed her where. I couldn't. She didn't. And, while I puzzled over where to put the little plant with the silver green foliage, the summer turned into fall, which in short order turned into winter. The little plant with the silver-green, almost sensually soft foliage turned black, harden and became brittle with death.
My granddaughter shook her head. "You killed it." I agreed and hung my head in shame. But then spring arrived and the warm sun and frequent spring rains performed their magic. New shoots appeared.
