Recovery from winter damages

It's seems long time ago that temperatures dropped unter 0°C. I have some zone 8 borderline plants that suffered least winter not because of the minimum temperature (it dropped just to -6°C in one occasion for a couple of hours) but due to persisting minus temperatures (-2 to -3°C) for nights and nights and also some days.

This is my Banksia integrifolia resprouting from the rootstock this week.

This dwarf form of Banksia spinulosa also suffered the cold 2009-10 Winter.

Last Winter was to wet and snowy for med plants too. But if your speciments are succombed, just wait a little bit, it may be the case like with this Satureja thymbra, that the lost plant will be replaced by a young seedling.
