We have seen a colder than normal zone 8a winter here.

As a result, I have been watching the effects of the cold on various herbs.

I have two rosemary plants. One is an upright and the other trailing rosemary.

Although the trailing rosemary lost its' blooms to the freeze, neither plant was affected by extended freezing temperatures.

This past week we had two different snowfalls within a few days but neither snow nor sleet nor freezing temps did any harm to these rosemary plants either.

Another plant that is in a container but was unaffected by this inclement weather was a Bay Laurel tree. Thumb of 2014-02-02/pod/4d2356

I was a bit concerned that the freezing temps might have damaged the roots but see no problems as of yet.

The leaves show no sign of stress at this time.
