Oh what a shame. Maybe they'll be okay Jacque, if they weren't in the snow too long. If the pots didn't freeze solid the roots should be fine.

The Bottle brushes are hardier than you think Jaqcue , I suspect they will be alright .. I don't know anything about the Parrot Bill Plants .........

Im feeling better knowing the Bottle Brushes may be ok Amy as so many members&Yourself think so :) Iv never grown Parrot Bills B4 But Toto z their Hardy so they may be ok 2 ?:)

I hope they'll be ok Jacque after all the care you've been giving them

Thanx Hywel :)

Bottlebrushes seem to get hardier the older they get. I think it's the combination of cold AND wet that can kill them in the early stages so by keeping them under cover for their first winter, they should stand a better chance because they are dry

Hope your plants are Ok, Jacque. I went into a panic when my clematis montana began to look the worse for the weather but Spritz says it will be OK :)
