Well, dear Lady if they are frost nipped you can snipe off the dead parts and let it grow. Maybe this will be your last freeze. It is not warming up like usual. My Amorphs are so slow in growing. I think it is because the ground isn't warm enough. We just got to hang in there and Don't go doing anything you shouldn't. I know I'm not the one to be saying anything. I don't mind very well either. Take care of yourself. Group hug

We are really slow warming up here also. Sun is out today but is pretty cool. Hoping to be able to plant out my 2 Brugs and 4 Abutilon soon. Want to get them out of the house for the growing season. Going to leave all of them planted outside this coming winter. Will take cuttings just in case. I have been reading all the info faithfully that all of you post. You are sure a great bunch to learn from.
Hang in there Doris, it will start warming up soon.

It's cold and rainy today here. I been cold all day. Doris, we all feel for you and your plants. But when you are able to go out, I bet they will be ok. They are pretty tough unless it gets below 32. Or has the 30's for an extended time. Just keep thinking good thoughts.

Thanks to all the Brugmaniacs that gave me great growing advise. For the last five years I have been buying, overwintering, and killing my brugs. Thanks to your good sound gardening advise last years brug is looking fabulous this year! It's the first time I overwintered successfully. Hurray! Hurray! Hurray!

Yup. It's a couple years old and I'm bringing you a couple seeds of it to the round up so you can have one too. I might even bring you a plant if it does ok till then, I repotted it a couple days ago and it looks good so far. But Sept is a long way off, so got seeds too for back up.

Those Iochroma are so pretty. They come in several different colors! Sure wish someone would creat a blue or purple brug!
