I would like to know why some have leaves and have kept them all winter. These plants were in the ground and others right next door to them are still bare just getting claws. Others have 1-2 inches of new growth on stalks with no leaves. A few nipped back from cold some have already started new tips and leaves were they were frost bit and others that were fine still are just starting to show signs of growth. This I can't figure out anyone else have this same thing going on or is everyones like this too?
