Hi May, My sedum has started to show and my cannas are starting to sprout in the frost free greenhouse. Haven't checked my solomon's seal yet and I don't have any grasses only evergreen carex.
My established sedums have started showing good growth but the offcuts are still mainly sticks with very tiny buds at the base. The cannas were showing growth but the snow put paid to that and hoping they recover but they were in pots so they probably have fared worse. I am hoping my neighbour who very wisely left their cannas in the greenhouse have survived and I can beg a few. By my reckoning gardens and plants are at least 4 weeks behind and I live in Cornwall. I have never known such a wet cold winter but think am trying to remain patient and hopefully in about 4 more weeks the plants and gardens will be all sprouting back to life.
My cannas previously have spent winter in pots outside and have been fine.
Wonder whether my sedum are under the 5 year guarantee. Also have a patio raspberry that cost a lot but was tiny and looks dead. That was in the cold frame.
My sedums ('Ruby Glow' and 'Touchdown Teak') are showing and have been for a while. No sign of the Solomon's Seal but I'm pretty sure it hadn't quite started this time last year either. Haven't got either of the others.
