You may be able to redress the situation by hardening your plants off if
they have not begun new growth. You could put them in an unheated indoor
place first, then choose a favourable time to put them outside.


Does depend where you are, of course. In my garden the alpine strawbs
(outside all winter) are still flowering, and the other strawbs don't
really seem to have stopped growing at all.

This has been a very mild winter so far!
