I think I may have drowned my flowers will they come back to life?

Just wondering what to do to get them to start growing again. I have Pansies, petunias, verbena, and Marigolds. They're outside in a whiskey barrel planter and some are just in the ground. What do I do????

if they start to turn yellow or the green fades it could be that the roots have started to rot, that means they're gonners
Reply:They should be ok, just dont water them for a couple of days.

Reply:First, calm down. Just water them a bit and put them in sunlight. Check them every 2 hours. After the 2 hours are over. Put them in the shade for 1 hour. then put them back. Follow these steps for 3 days stright. Now for the one's in the ground. Simply water them. 3 hours. Keep on watering them. Especially if it's hot. If it's cloudy. Make it every 4 hours. At night. Just get up one time and that's it.:)

Reply:Well, depending how long you "drowned" them for they may come back to life. However if to many cells were killed from the excess water, their dead. The cells are suppose to be able to regulate water absorption, but to much water will cause the roots to start to rot as they are unable to breath. If they are still alive at all, get them out of the pot, the ground ones i am not sure about. If the roots look none dying/rotting wrap them in paper towels and change as they absorb excess water. If they look bad rinse the roots and take a knife to the dead parts. Replant with only enough water to moisten the soil.
Reply:dont put more water


put them under the sun so the water can be soaked up
