Cold Temps and Plants..

I know that in the long cold winters of 2009 - 2010 (?) , I lost two lovely phormiums in large plastic containers. I always thought New Zealand flax was tough as old boots . My new one is in a large terracotta pot. All my plants appear to be OK so far.....

 

I hope I haven't lost my Agastache black adder one of my absolute favourites last Summer & I should of been more organised with cuttings but the up keep of the garden was enough already

 

New plant to me , just had a Google , that is a very nice plant Mark . One to go on the wish list !

 

Definitely Harry It's probably my all time favourite plant, @Verdun introduced me, wonderful group of plants. Check out the Kudos varieties as well, quite different looking. Sharp drainage & lots of sunshine

 

Hard to tell just yet if Black Adder has survived....think they have. Blue Boa is a little hardier and the Kudos too
I think the real danger is prolonged cold wet weather so ......!!!

On edit an update......just checked Black Adder clumps and at least 2 are shooting. Warmish before the snow and warm since ....very warm today.....so they seem fine.

 

I made sure to add lots of grit to the planting hole and mulch with some in autumn, fingers crossed. Indeed, Kudos & my Blue Fortune are fine up until -20 and -25c.. hopefully won't be having any of that any time soon although last weeks -12 says otherwise

 

I've looked at my camellia today the buds at the front have gone slightly smaller but at the back they're lovely and fresh...the quicker this weather eases up the better
