UPDATE JANUARY 30- wanted to add a few more that I forgot from my own yard. Elderberry at my house are defoliated. French Thyme is green, oregano is green. Rosettes of verbascum are green and look wonderful. Cardoon, yarrow tops died in dec freeze but are growing back fast. Henbit was not harmed at all, cilantro seedlings look great, cleavers are green. Native wild onions and heirloom leeks and heirloom garlic were not harmed at all. Garlic chives, onion chives and I’Otoli onion tops died in Dec but grew back really fast. Most roses still have leaves but many of them had tender new growth that was killed on the tops. Rosa rugosa leaves all died but stems still alive (wonder if this is a positive adaptation for this one rose I know grows very far north).

January 30 we are having freezing rain right now and expecting ice accumulation for the next 2 days. Let’s see who is still green at the end of this week!

I wrote this blog so when I am designing later I can remember which plants are truly evergreen…
