>>787132It varies. For example my cheap ass rosemary plants from hardware store (€3 each IIRC), probably grown in a very hot region like Italy and not a special hardy cultivar, have all done well so far and survived the winter unharmed (went down to -7°C), despite me buying and planting them out pretty late (September), they even grew a little in the middle of the winter and do more so now.
Same for the bay laurel (Laurus nobilis), not a single bit of frost damage and growing like crazy again
On the other hand, bought and planted a Lavandula stoechas at the beginning of May, and this one doesn't seem to be doing too well.
Also some variegated ivy I bought which I want to climb up a fence is bickering, the regular ivy cuttings I took from another part of the garden which I simply stuck into the ground at around the same time as I planted the store-bought ones (last October) are doing better already now, and they had more time to invest to grow roots!
Mid-tier are my 2 bought Trachycarpus, they're not dying but just growing veeeery slowly (only shooting one leaf per 1-2 months or so in the warm season)
>>787387>>787388If you mean Alliaria petiolata, it definitely doesn't look like that, unless there's strange-looking cultivars around
