Gardeners in colder regions should be aware of the varying cold tolerance of their herbs. While some herbs like chives and sage can survive extreme cold, others such as basil and dill are highly susceptible to frost damage and will not survive freezing temperatures. Improper care, such as inadequate drainage or late-season pruning, can further reduce the hardiness of certain plants. Understanding the specific needs of each herb is crucial to ensure their survival through winter conditions.
