Have I killed it?

Posted by autumnleaf east VIC, Aust (My Page) on

Hi have a rare white Bird of Paradise - I planted it late autumn and it copped a couple of light frosts which have made all the leaves turn brown. The stems are still green and strong.

The other BoP's I have, a yellow and an orange, where planted at the same time and are doing well.

Has the frosts killed the white one or is there hope it will come back?

sounds like it will come back to me, so long as the stem clump is not dead and rotting away.

next winter throw some mulch over the plants as cover against the frost.
