A lot of the stuff I got from Parkers looked utterly unimpressive (okay, dead) when it arrived in the Autumn. Planted the little plug roots (plants is too grand a description) out in December and was glad of the markers I'd put in as there was no way of telling there was anything there. I now have tangible growth next to many of those markers so I'd say it is possible... Dead-looking or not, I could see 'something' though.
According to the RHS it is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial, so there could be some underground action, but to see absolutely nothing? Sadly I don't know. Might be worth a phone call to check to see if this is 'normal'.
Tomorrow I need to find a large container to plant a fancy twig in. Technically it's an Acer, but the reality is that it's a shapely stick with some other sticks branching off half way up. Poor thing doesn't look to impressed having it's roots wrapped in plastic! :o)
