| I have clematis up and budded all over my yard, and a frost is threatened. I covered them all with towels to k3ep frost off. It is supposed to be only a night time thing, and warm up again in the AM. Do you think they will be okay?

| Unless it freezes pretty hard it won't bother them. Even if it should I would think they would come back and just be a little later. |

| Clematis are remarkably frost tolerant. All of mine have been budding up vigorously for the last month or so and we had a cold snap a couple weeks ago with nighttime temps dipping into the low 20's-high teens. No issues with the clems at all, even the armandii that is full of flower buds. |

| Thank you, gardengal48, I have buds on most of them, but they weren't hurt at all that I can see. I am really looking forward to the blooming this year. kay |
