Despite the freezing temps, the Jacob's Ladder is blooming!
Poor, poor Sedum . This will be their third year.
Astilbe by the Burning Bushes . These were planted last year.
Even our Boxwoods took a beating!
Endless Summer H. planted last spring.
The "best looking" ES, which is by the house. These were all covered, but still took a beating. this was planted one week before the freezing temps.
Not sure if this ES will make it! This was also planted one week before the freezing temps.
I took a stroll around the garden beds this morning to check on the damage. I don't think it's as bad as I thought, but there will be some losses. Above are the damaged plants.

Good to hear that the Jacob's Ladder is tough. It barely poked its green above ground when the freeze hit so it just stopped growing temporarily. The Bleeding Heart and Virginia Bluebells looked droopy for a few days but look like they have a change if there are no more freezes. Neither had set bloom yet.
As for your Endless Summer. You have a unique chance to see if the claims of blooms on new growth are valid. Keep us posted with pictures and dates about how long it takes and when this summer the blooms begin to appear. It may be late summer. I am curious to see results in actual gardens.
