Hope her marginal stuff makes it, and if not, she finds good replacements! I think you are right that the zigzag plant is a cotoneaster, we have a ton of them - maybe it's called a Herringbone Cotoneaster??Karenhttp://greenwalks.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018965493805276234.post-84285663189750915012010-12-30T13:25:13.108-08:002010-12-30T13:25:13.108-08:00It is all becoming clear...you had no choice but t...It is all becoming clear...you had no choice but to take up gardening.

It's interesting and lovely to see so much winter color in your parent's garden that's 3 zones cooler than ours.

She could push Hens and Chicks all day long here. The poppies will probably bounce right back. Oh and you aren't not alone with not having nice winter interest from the Autumn Joy.
