Just bought this and I'm in the Portland area. It didn't live over for you? Do you think it was a wet issue? Because it was a mild winter, we never even had any snow.

Greetings from a slowly warming up New Hampshire!
Some of you may recall our discussions on this last year. Well, I
can now confidently state, that it does overwinter and it spreads! I
am now in the process of replanting in various parts of the garden in
deep pots sunk into the ground. Should clump up nicely now!
I am finding some odd balls that didn't overwinter - my Coreopsis
Limerock Ruby and C. Sweet Dreams appear to be gone. I'll leave their
spots alone for a while in case they are late returning. A few
daylilies didn't make it - one heaved thanks to the rodent population
in the garden and a few seem to have rotted away. Didn't spend top
dollar on any of them, so no harm done.
I also lost my Euphorbia myrsinites (donkey tail spurge) - it got
covered with blowing leaves and rotted. And I gave all my seedlings
away last year!
What still blows me away is the amount of winter kill on my red
leafed rose; I lost about half the canes. This is the first year that
it has seen this much snow cover and I left the hips on for the
birds. All thoughts welcome on the causes of the dead canes. BUT, I
found 4 seedlings from it this spring; they are headed to Monica.
Happy Gardening
Cheryl
