. Yes, the mature plants began to die back beginning with the first freeze in November. It's a process for them, with those that go completely dormant getting further along toward dormancy faster than the evergreens. Here it started out really cold for the first freeze and some almost went completely down from the beginning, but each subsequent exposure of freezing temps put the dormant ones with less and less green. By mid December those inclined to stay evergreen were easily distinguished from those who give up the green growth. Not too many stayed in between. Now that everything is actively growing again I guess I'll see what happens during the next freezing spell. Supposed to get really cold (for me) again in the next few days. The freeze we've had overnight for the last 3 days has not impacted the new growth like it did the old growth in place last November.
