Violas or pansies. Which is superior?
blooming when I planted them in the autumn, the bloomed over Christmas, they were blooming when the snow started falling - they were buried under about 9" of thick snow for at least a week, probably more - when they emerged they looked very sorry by Verdun

Cherry tree.
also have a cherry tree in our garden, so far we have no blossoms forming Perhaps beause of the snow we've had over the last couple of months? We're in Kent, don't know if that makes any difference. Nothing on mine yet - I would not worry until mid by lecatsmother

Phormium protection
and years of snow and frost - I think it's down to the fact that their roots are in layers of ancient ruins. If your soil is well drained I would think they'll be ok except in the most exceptional winters - if we get one of those then there's lots of things by yvette303

Rhododendron possibly dying
I have a small, not very well established rhododendron that I uncovered in a border last summer just after I moved into the property. It has been doing absolutely fine until recently when we've had hard frosts, snow, heavy rain and gale force winds by Garden-Girl
