Default Granny's Heart is officially recovered!

Here's a Grannys Heart that I was sure had herbicide poisoning from some manure we used.
We dug the plant, emptied the pot and cleaned it with bleach and put new media of peat moss and promix back in.
Well after a month it's showing some life. Would not have went to all that trouble except this was my only Grannys Heart plant.

About the small pot around the base - well even after planting deep there were still some "contaminated lookung branches so off they came, this left a long stem so to both stabilize and give more support we cut the bottom out of a planting pot, slit it down the side, placed around the stem and filled it with potting soil.

Plant is now right at 6 ft tall with lots of blooms

First pic is right after replanting, sorry not a great pic.
2nd pic was taken 3 weeks ago.
3rd pic taken yesterday.
