That was my experience exactly with several cultivars in my yard. I live in Tallahassee, and it seems the cold weather lasted just a little too long for several of them, which seemed to stop growing just a few weeks ago after hanging on and actually starting to grow several times through the winter when it warmed up between freezes. Just yesterday I ended up cutting most everything a little at first, then seeing rot, cutting lower, and lower, and lower. A couple were down top the ground, and others seemed to be OK, but I'm leery and am waiting for a spell of really warm weather to see who's really still there and who's no longer with us.

All that work in covering everything every time it froze . . . what a waste.
