Question:
The newly emerged growth on several of my perennials has been destroyed by a late spring freeze. Will the perennials come back?Answer:
Newly emerged perennial growth is susceptible to damage from freezing temperatures. While freezing temperatures may have damaged or destroyed the new growth, the roots and crowns of healthy, well-established perennials should still be alive. The damaged perennials should send up a second flush of growth in a few weeks. Good care (for example, watering weekly during dry weather) this spring and summer should help the perennials recover.
