I will never again leave plants elevated in the wind in North Texas. My semps looked great January first, and pretty trashed now. If they all die I am just out of here. I'm not buying more.
It's a different thing when a plant is on the ground and the pot is not totally surrounded by freezing air. Mine were on a chair. I was stupid.

I've cleaned them up. I actually looked at post freeze photos from last February and most of them don't look too much worse. There was one I really liked that was trashed, so if I could buy it locally maybe I would pick one up, but no more $80 plant orders.
What is dead: Fuzzy Wuzzy, Kimono
What will probably die: Glauca Minor, Tectorum, Kalinda, Fiesta,
What might live: Happy, Dream Catcher
What will probably live: Gulle Dame, Karola, Mariah Laach, Lady Kelly
That doesn't count what died last year. They may be alpine but they don't live on ski lifts. I didn't bother to take pictures after the cleanup, chunked over on the lot, no sense killing my grass. They have sun and a wire cage over them.
