perennials need protection. A light mulch of straw 
1 to 2 inches deep, or a covering of evergreen 
boughs will bring the plants through the winter in 
fine shape. Do not use leaves as they become 
soggy, pack down too tightly and are likely to 
smother the plants. This mulch should be applied 
after the ground is frozen, usually in December. 
The object is to keep the frost in the ground and 
avoid the alternate freezing and thawing which so 
often kills the perennials, especially in February 
and March.
