To answer your question about I.typhifolia:
I think that your plant is likely just fine. It has been my experience with
this plant over the last 5 years that it is always one of the first in the
autumn to have its foliage die back. It seems to do this each year with the
slightest hint of frost.
We are enjoying wonderful autumn weather here in southern Ontario with the
last three or four days being typical Indian Summer days. The lull before
the storm...
