Don't think they made it :( We had two days of a hard freeze. We rarely freeze more then a few hours. #foliage (haha) #louisiana #Zone8b

@treefrog44 I'm not giving in just yet. I'm going to trim them back and give them some water. They do grow quickly ,if I don't see anything in two weeks. ..then I'll throw in the towel and shop for replacement plants ;) @SikoMa I agree

@Selina91675 I just planted these this spring. But in a previous yard I had them for several years. I'm in zone 8 or 9 depending on what map you look at.

I planted 6 of them and they sure do hold up to the Louisiana heat.

Mexican Heather is doing well. Looks like the Agapanthus (Peter Pan ) will need to be divided the fall as well.
