SUMMER DORMANT PLANTS Many plants go summer dormant, Cyclamen, Arums, Ranunculus, Trilliums and many of the other woodland plants, the list is rather extensive. You would be amazed at how many people think their plants have died when they only went dormant. We have had Garden Centers that should have known better; throw out flats of Cyclamen erroneously thinking they were dead. Just because the leaves turned yellow and the foliage disappeared does not necessarily mean the plant has died. Before you call and complain that something has died, please check and see if it is something that goes dormant or breaks growth at odd times, like___ Ranunculus ficaria
