My Monet Weigela Turned Brown And Seem Dead

Question From: B. Markel - Hanover, Pennsylvania, United States
Q: Hello, my Mymonet plants (four of them) seem as if they died. They are all brown and probably got hit by a hard frost. I never saw this before. Will they come back in the spring or are they dead.

A: Clip a stem and scratch off the bark with your nail. If it is green, we know it's alive at this time. Make sure you keep the soil moist - I'd mulch it, until the soil freezes. See what happens in spring. Best And Happy Yardening, Nancy
