Default snow damaged new zealand flax? fix?

Exactly where on the planet are you?

Are you trying to grow them where they normally don't survive the winter?

Most Phormium cultivars cannot tolerate freezing temperatures.

have a couple of very big nz flax plants

got snowed on this week and a lot of the exterior
leaves got leveled

got the snow off them asap but they are still down

any thoughts about them, the leaves, springing
back upright?

any help?

thought about running a rope all around the plants
to give them a temp lift?

what is the physical mechanics going on here?

thanks
