I am not sure how cold it gets in Seattle but that is a common occurrence here with temps going down into the single digits and below.

Those are pretty big plants for overwintering, when did you plant them?

I'm going to guess those are softneck too? They are less cold hardy than the hardnecks I grow.

There's a couple different varieties of both and I planted them late October right around Halloween. It wasn't in the single digits here but in the teens for sure.

Nothing to worry about at this point. They might look less than pristine during winter but they'll put out lots of new growth when it starts to warm up in spring.

Yeah I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. They should perk right up in the spring.

Great, thanks guys!
