The Speedwell, unlike the other plants which are annuals, is a perennial. Not sure if it will winter over in the pot. We will find out next spring.
Hopefully, we don’t have another severe winter here in Kentucky, like last year. Three of the Black Knight butterfly bushes did not make it this year. We have had them in the garden for probably fifteen years.
Hollyhocks, which usually reseed each year, did not make it, presumably because of this horrible past winter.
My climbing rose bush took a massive hit this winter, too. It seems the flowers and bushes on the southwest side of the house were damaged the most. Usually, they are the most vigorous and prolific.
Life goes on; I am enjoying the beautiful days spent in the garden.
