I live in woodstock and I have planted lantana, verbana, purple cone flowers, dahlias, hydrangeas, roses (all kinds - including climbers).
Does anyone in this area know what needs to be done with these plants for them to survive the winter. Home Depot said the lantana and verbana are perinnieal in this area, however, that is not what I read online - it says zone 9 and up.
If you are growing any of the plants that I planted can you tell me what you do to winterize the plants. Do you cut them back and cover with mulch. Do you just cover the crown with mulch without cutting back. Do you water in the winter? Do you cover your roses with dirt or wrap in burlap? Gosh, I'm confused.
Thank you, in advance, for your help.
