Question from
Brian mc
I live in central scotland and I planted this shrub last spring(2009).I have to say that the plant took to the area really well and is now almost full size. However, from december to january we experienced freak snow showers which covered the ground for four weeks exactly. I know you have recommended this plant as an h3 - frost tender shrub but the snow we had was completely out of the norm. More to the point - the leaves on both shrubs have gone from a really vibrant green to a poor looking brown. do you think i have los this shrub or is it likely to recover. Also, how to define h3 frost tender.
all the best
