Winter survivors.

I'm well pleased with these plants. They've survived the winter nicely. Even the Fatsia Japonica which I thought had died when most of it's leaves turned black - it wasn't dead at all. New leaves are coming ... I think you can just see it in the green pot.

Have all your plants survived the winter?

Re: Winter survivors.

Yes, but then it was a pretty mild Winter and also I have a walled garden, which holds the heat.

Re: Winter survivors.

Nice garden Carol - The majority of stuff in our garden has overwintered quite well. (I think I have just responded to your post on another forum).

Re: Winter survivors.

Looks good Carol.
Everything here seems to have survived, thank goodness. I'm always most concerned for my Agapanthus, Camelias and Rhodedendrons because they are in tubs. I bubble wrap the tubs and put a good layer of bark chippings over the roots each year, but I'm always very relieved when they start shooting new leaves again.
