Yes, freeze damage is very evident in my garden. The bloom has been set back
by weeks instead of days. Some clumps look like they were hit by a flame thrower
because the foliage has turned yellow and brown and died back.. Others are a
washed out green and some are green with ribbed and gnarled leaves.
I cannot find anything in common for those that are damaged. It doesn't make
sense that the SDBs should be unaffected but some of the talls badly damaged.
And, the damaged talls aren't necessarily early bloomers. ATLANTA BELLE is
registered as an "L" bloomer and has always bloomed late for me probably will die
from freeze damage. I have bloom today on two arilbreds, and they were totally
unaffected by the late freezes, but the rest of the crop was wiped out. Can anybody
see anything any of these freeze damaged plants have in common? All of these
are in an open bed north of the house.
