In your zone 5, Hylotelephium Herbstfreude are evergreen all winter?


This is my first year having them. My neighbor down the block has a bed roughly 18" wide by 150' long that stays green all winter with no visible die back. This is between her sidewalk and the cyclone fence that borders her yard. She leaves the old dried flowers on all winter and tops them back before last frost. My older brother had a bed along his driveway, also about 18" wide and 50' long that stayed green all winter. This was along the foundation of his house and drive. Both of these plantings are so thick that weeds can't even grow between.
He didn't do anything with them, just left them be to do what they will.
I'm not sure how DW's will do overwinter in containers.
