Wighty your Fuchsias should be fine. I`ve not seen one dead outdoor Fuchsia up here.

Broad beans, sweet peas, some of the species paeonies I planted last autumn. All eaten by mice.

My garden is very new and I have lost about four different types of hebe that I planted last year

[DD.]

Sorry about the losses, but doesn't that tell us how imcomplacent we've got having had a few mild winters?

Absolutely, let's have a rethink and stop believing that we'll be able to grow plants that thrive in the Med

[JayG]

Just watch Gardener's World; if they start planning and planting a desert garden this spring you will know we are in for a wet summer and another very cold winter!

(Oops, sorry. I'm supposed to be someone who thinks GW has reformed this year!)

I just came back into this thread to add that I noticed yesterday my lovely purple Hebe has a lot of brown leaf ends and I hope its going to be OK. 

[JayG]

It will probably be OK Argyllie, they are pretty tough (probably just a touch of the Hebe-Jeebies!) 

[mumofstig]

 ..it's the way you tell'em

[arugula]

It will probably be OK Argyllie, they are pretty tough ......

Oh that's good then. I love the plant and it loves the surroundings, not always an easy thing for me to find.

Lost a cordyline but that is my fault because I should have put it in the shed at the very least.  I suspect I have lost my Rosemary and a Lavender that have been in the ground for a couple of years.  My mum has lost a huge montana clematis because the pergola that it was climbing over collapsed under the weight of snow two weeks ago.

We have/had an acacia dealbarta  (Mimosa).  They are not supposed to be hardy, especially 500ft. above sea level and usually only last a few years.  We have had this one for ages it has grown huge and I have been trying to persuade my OH to cut it down and let it re-grow from the roots.  It survived last winter, but I think the recent one has done for it.  Hoorah!

I lost my jasmine too DiggerJoe. I'm so disappointed, this winter has been brutal! Love your replacement ideas though, need to fine something pretty to replace mine. Any ideas anyone? A x

[Thrift]

What's your location AnnaM ? A lot may depend on the situation and exposure of your garden.

I planted a tiny jasmine in a corner last year and I think it's ok despite my other losses and the fact that we're about 600'-700' above sea level. To be really safe I think take a look at nature around you.

So many of our plants originate far from these islands. Good luck. 

[AnnaM]

Thanks for your response Thrift I'm in south-west London, Middlesex way if that helps? Think I'll have to do some more research as my garden took a fair battering this Winter!
