thank you.
I am learning about our plants in this area (we are mostly all from elsewhere!) and asked a local landscaper if I should cut back the "dead" parts of my plants. The answer was "NO!". Wait til end of April or into March--whatever you cut now will be vulnerable to the next frost and it will probably kill it. What we think right now is "dead" may in fact not be totally gone!
