It’s always such a shame when you lose things that you have had for a while or have been nurturing, but you just have to accept it, learn from it and move on. I’m amazed that your agastache has survived those temperatures. You certainly have found the right spot for it, so well done! A pity about your lovely red cordyline but I too have found that they do not like harsh winters without a lot of protection.
Thanks again for watching. I have other Agastache Apricot sprite in different area that don’t look great. It will be also interesting to see If they have been killed off or not.
Last year was a big test for my new garden. I lost a lot of plants in the summer due to the hot weather and the draught and the winter is no different! I moved in not long agao and it has costed me alot of money and time to no avail, but I guess that is gardening! Thanks for the video very helpful👍
I would not like to add up how much I have lost in cash from plants that have died in the garden especially as i have experimented with many half hardy varieties. It can be an expensive hobby. however eventually you end up with a backbone of plants that thrive in your space and stand the test of time.
Sorry to see you lost your Cordyline. I’ve lost a few over the years sadly and I’m in the South. My Star Jasmine | Trachelospermum jasminoides, which was outstanding in the high temperatures we had this summer, has taken a real bashing. Got my fingers crossed Spring will bring it back.
Let’s hope we get a few surprise recoveries in the Spring. Whoever manages to find and sell a hardy Cordyline other than Green will be on to a winner as they are so popular. Thanks very much for watching.
I agree with you 100% with red stars, pink passion cordylines also a waste of time in my location. My Torbay dazzler is barely alive. The green cordyline australis I don't grow as it's everywhere round here. Great to see the update 👍
Such a shame your Red Star was magnificent don't think I've ever seen one so big I have two much smaller ones but kept them in pots so I could store them in the garage when the really bad weather comes for a few nights or days and one of those I forgot I'd left it down the side of the greenhouse for a night and it too is all soft in the middle and falling off so that's had to go. I am so sorry for what you've lost you have such a varied planting scheme and some well established shrubs :( Will be interested to see how your Loropetalum does I have always wanted one but it's the hardiness that puts me off they are really lovely.
it was a shame about the red star. I was hoping it’s maturity would make it tougher but it was not be. It’s not often you see one with a decent trunk. I have been out of the country for a few weeks and left the Loropetalum to its own fate. I hope I don’t regret it.
Think I've lost a Hebe, but the foliage from Californian poppies growing under a Berberis darwinii(compacta) only flopped a bit, then just bounced back like it was summer again after the cold finished(-6c). The poppies are literally 4 feet away from the Hebe, Hebe dropped all the foliage, I'm going to leave it until March/April to see if it will grow back. One variegated Japanese painted fern died completely back too, whereas the green ones are totally okay with the cold. Corsican hellebores also flopped in the cold, going to cut them back to the ground once they start to grow new stems. Shame, the flowers are just opening now, but they're on the ground.
Silly question but how do I tell if my loropetalum is dead? Most of the leaves have come off it, is it a case of waiting till Spring to see what happens?
hi, it should be leaf budding now, what can you see when you peel back the bark? As we are in early spring I think we will find out soon. Here this would normally be flowering now.
@@mywalledgarden No budding and brown when I scratch away the bark, oh well! My Tom thumb pittosporums also are half bare so can't work out if they're dead or alive! Thanks for your help
Lovely tour my friend, love your garden
Thank you very much for watching
@@mywalledgarden you are welcome 🤗

I have one Green Cordylline, it is quite impressive but like you said they are everywhere.
I'm sorry for the plants that have perished. On the bright side they leave behind space in your garden for you to test out newer plant species.
Thanks for watching again, yes I am already looking for replacements to fill spaces.

Hebe’s can beso unpredictable, it’s good to wait a bit. some I though would recover didn’t and I thought had gone came back to life.
I am looking for some easy maintenance shrubs , do you have any suggestions?
hi Jack, what is your climate like? You probably want something that does not need constant pruning.
