Variegated Society Garlic - Winter Hardy?

Shmuel: Our winter was mild for December & January, but then the bottom
dropped out for February & some of March, during which there was snow cover
for most of those 1.5 months.

The plant originally started out with a thin cover of pine bark mulch, but
that quickly decayed and/or blew away. No drifts of leaves to act as
mulch.

I'll just write it off as a fluke for now. It was just one winter.

And don't tell the plant as it may yet expire. After all it was never
meant to survive; it was meant as an offering to the plant gods.
