It must have been a very mild winter. These nemesis have come through the winter beautifully. And even self sown a few little ones in random pots. The scent is amazing too.
Anyone else had “strange survivors”? No
They look very nice. Winter was actually harder for us here than it had been for a couple of years. I lost most of my pelargoniums that had survived 2 or 3 previous winters.
In fact, everything in this sheltered corner has survived the winter.
Several pelargoniums (including one of my favourite P Graveolens) plus a couple of bedding verbena and snapdragons. One bit of my plot that doesn’t need any attention for now.
I think we had a particularily hard winter. My Lavatera bush suffered,Fatsia suffered but amazingly my grapevine cutting grown in a MFB survived being frozen solid for days on end.

I lost a couple of sage bushes and a rosemary - so I'm blaming that on the weather, even though we had very little hard stuff.
The dahlias in pots outside are about to flower.
