We also experienced a severe October frost which caught some plant material off guard. The recommendation at this point in time is to wait and be patient and not to assume that the injury you see is disease or insect related. Plant material not leafing out by mid to late June can be presumed dead and can be removed for aesthetic reasons. Avoid removal of any live growth as this growth will provide the sugar energy needed for new growth to occur. In some instances new growth might originate from the bare branches themselves or new shoots may originate from the base of the tree or shrub.
Vines can add color, cover to most gardens Vines can be assets in almost every garden.
Adapted to moving about, vines can reach places inaccessible to other plants and can quickly transform bare walls into vertical gardens. The following annual vines are useful for screening and ornamentation where a perennial vine may not be needed or wanted. Annuals grown from seed flower and die in one season. They will quickly provide cover and bloom. Ornamental flat, purple pods filled with edible beans follow the flowers.
