Hi beetelman,

You said they are in a full-sun spot, which will help with their reemergence. Yes, its still early...aren't you guys getting snow again today? As long as the soil doesn't stay overly wet, you should be okay. Just ensure the soil around them is draining as the snow melts so they aren't just sitting in water...and then be patient. Patience will be needed by MANY this year, even here in OK where we've had some of the coldest temps in a long, long time.

Here's hoping your spring and summer are not as extreme as winter has been :)

Here is a link that might be useful: Leafy Spurge (Perennial Euphorbia)

Thanks for your response, grandmamaloy. I'm happy to hear there is some hope for these plants. I really like them, and I want to see them fill in during their second season.

Hopefully, by May, I can post a picture of the recovered euphorbias thriving in the garden (fingers crossed).

Thanks again.

Personally, I would be a bit skeptical about their survival.....these are both evergreen species/hybrids and should hold foliage throughout the winter in areas where they are hardy. In my climate, both are beginning to set flower buds at this time of year.

Given the severity of the winter across much of the eastern half of the country, I'm not at all surprised that some of these kinds of plants - evergreen, xeric, requiring very sharp drainage - have not overwintered well in some areas. Excessively cold temperatures, loads of snow and consistently wet soils are just not at all to their liking.
