I would Hope most of mine are still showing green and always do every
year. I have a few that completely loose there leaves. I am farther north
than you. I thought this was normal for TB"S . The longest and oldest
leaves show the most damage. Same thing with SDB's only they do better.
Less damage.
Right now the one bed I did not mulch with sand has frost heave. Some of
the rhizomes our almost on top of the ground and loose when you touch them.
The ones with the sand mulch are nice and tight. Do not move at all even
when you try. I put some sand on top of them.
