That's a great find, Theresa. Just in time to cut it back and mulch. We'll look for progress pics next spring.

Theresa
looking good,congratulations on your Brug making it, I tried that, it's just too cold here, but my fig tree made it, mulched with leaves, I cut the end of a trash can, stuffed it with maple leaves, it made it

I'm shocked. We had a colder then average winter last year and I know you're even colder then me. That must be a great spot for brugs. I'd try a couple more that you can afford to play with in that same are next year. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to leave some inground year round.

boy Theresa that is one stubborn angel! To bad you do not know what it the name is. I agree with Karyn that I would try to overwinter more...with similar protection etc

keep us up on how it is doing

There were two others in the same area, but this one( I think a suav pink from Karyn) was closest to the house. The others didn't make it. Karyn, it was a very cold winter. Can you imagine if we have a milder winter?! Well, we'll find out!

Theresa

Theresa,
That is great! I hope more survive your winters. I am going to leave a pink noid and Betty Marshall in the ground this winter and see what happens. It can't hurt to try. I am in zone 7a. Thanks for telling us about your survivor!

LOL Theresa, that is quite a find! Make sure you mark where it's at so next season you can take care of it and we can see what color blooms you get.

Don't worry, El!!! This one has my attention now!!LOL

Theresa

You could do the same with that one. Put a wire cage or trash can or something filled with leaves over it and uncover it in the spring. It would give it a head start to not have to come back from nothing.

Theresa you got a tough plant!
I haven't decided whether I'm going to dig out my only 2 brugs or leave them in ground for the winter. I know a lot of people in my zone will do the later, but maybe overwintering them in the garage will give them a head start next year.
