    I'd keep it on as it is. Living walls drain very quickly and can also be prone to being dried out by the wind. It sounds crazy with the weather we've been having but they can soon suffer if left.

    All the best

    Hello - Garden Beet (aka me Felicity Waters) has set up answer these questions.

    Am respectful of this fabulous community but feel the VerticalGardenOnline website may assist many gardeners out in the field.

    To avoid the need to go to another platform please let me tell you about my experience of heucheras in Australia and the UK in living walls during winter. They die and create the worst visual effect. These plants are not really suitable for all year living wall beauty

    This experience also extends to Jason Doran's living wall in the USA - check out how badly the heucheras performed
