Add Your Opinion About This Plant toni (36069) wrote on Mar 23 2009 Mine stay green year round, might sag a little under snow or ice, what little we have, but when the sun comes out they pick back up perfectly. I like this opinion Note: please don't use this box to post questions, you can do that on our forums instead.
