Bring out your dead!

My final tally of this winter’s victims:

Lavender. Never had it killed off before, but this winter did it.

Horehound. I thought it was sturdier than that.

Rosemary. Every once in a while, Rosemary will make it through a zone 6 winter. Didn’t stand a chance this year.

Wand flower. Rest in peace.

Hibiscus. It was supposed to be a hardy hibiscus. It wasn’t.
