Cat Whiskers Bush Dead?

Question

I live in north central Florida, my cat whiskers bush got hit by frost , now looks all dried out and dead, should I ct it down? Wil it grow back?

Answer 1

It's hardy in USDA zones 9-12. In your zone 9, it should be able to withstand 20 to 25 degrees F. There is a good chance only the top growth froze and the roots are still alive. Wait till all danger of frost has passed, then cut it down to the ground. It should grow back.
