Over here, some plants won’t show chill shock symptoms ’til spring, and in many cases it’s too late. A great culinary addition to one’s garden is Mother of Herbs, also requiring chill protection in winter, even though it is a fantastic ground cover. So best in a pot. The much rarer Lemon Sherbet Coleus has similar requirements, been on the waiting list for that, uh, a while.
Good luck, verbenas are tough, granted, make sure it’s well established before being walked on.
Most of the tree plantings are complete, the main worry is to maintain protection for the young plants from wallabies and deer. Happens when things dry up a bit.
