| Hi, I have some year old Red Twig Dogwoods (3 regular, 2 variegated) and we will have a frost advisory. They have just put out new leaves...should I cover them, or leave them alone. Thank you! Soilsenasuil |

| Leave them alone. These are some of the most cold hardy shrubs available. Frost damage to foliage should be slight, if any, and the plant can withstand a complete defoliation should catastrophic temperatures befall :-) |
