Hi, Marie, Your Aurinia saxatiilis is here on Shoot Do you have it in your 'Plants I Have' list? If so, you will get detailed info on where and how to grow it. First impression I have is it isn't getting enough sun - it needs full sun. Did you trim this back last year after flowering? This year? Finally, is it getting enough moisture? Perhaps that, coupled with too little light, has caused the congested, dried up condition. I would cut back all the dead and see what happens. Kathy C
I have this plant in my garden and it shows well in the spring. After flowering this year most of it has dried out and turned brown. Should I remove this seemingly deadfall shaking out the seeds? I don't think this happened last year and the planting is only 2 yrs old.
