Cala lilies and frost damage

Hiya,

We have a patch of cala lilies in the front garden, with 4 separate clumps in it. They've been in three of four years now and are well established, but during the very cold spell last month they have been decimated - all of the foliage has been destroyed and quite a bit of the stems. The stems that remain are still green and look alive, but i can't see any real signs of growth coming through yet. They were given a good top dressing of old compost from my grow bags in the autumn which I hope has helped to protect the roots to a certain extent.

I have pulled the rotten/dead bits of the plant off to try and stop any rot setting in, but would welcome any other ideas about coaxing them back to life!

Has any one else suffered similar damage and if so have your plants come back to life yet?

My Cala (a pressie from my son) has had lots of lovely greenery for the past two years but nary a flower to be seen    Im rubbish with pretty stuff 

I'll think positive and keep my fingers crossed I think, it would be a shame to lose them as they are lovely when they are in bloom.

Good morning Faz --- gues what, there's tiny green shoots on the call this morning, just poking up out of the water on that side. Nothing yet on the land side but it all looks very promising. 

Don't give up on yours yet, all could be well

Well the good news is that the lilies have sprung back to life, it just looks like the first set of leaves will be a bit tattered where they were damaged, but I'll cut them off when some of the other leaves come through to make it look tidy. Hopefully it will still flower this year, I think I'll give them a bit of fertiliser as a treat 

Great to hear Faz -- it's always a shame to lose a favourite plant
