Will this plant keep green leaves in the winter? Last year we had a few weeks where nights dropped to the 20s….We are in north Georgia 7b, with clay soil we have amended with Happy Frog Soil. Considering a place in the front yard for meadowsweet—to enjoy the fragrance, but want medicinal herbs/plants that will keep green leaves and beautiful shape in the winter.
We liked the idea of a few plants in the front for the fragrance…hoping for a plant that continues to stay green as the front yard gets plenty of sun in the winter.

Dallas/Ft Worth area, planted them 1/2 shade along a wall. They thrive. The tea from the leaves is delicious and raises the mood. Our family just loves it. Flowered the 2nd year. We actually had snow this year on the ground for a week or so, it was no issue for the meadowsweet.

My meadowsweet is the darling of my “side garden” on the western face of my house. Her lovely textured leaves tolerate the sun and dryness better than I had anticipated and she has grown back now for her 3rd year with no special treatment. While not as big and booming as she would be in a bit more shade and moisture this is a hardy plant that has not failed to make me smile since digging it in.
