I've been doing a bit of testing of this, while doing some other tests in an un-modded game, and have found that it doesn't seem to matter when the plants were planted and that it does also affect trees as well, contrary to what I said earlier. I had a mature garden come fall with some mature Perfect quality plants and trees along with some more recently planted and they all went dormant. I let the game continue through the following Spring and into the Summer but none of them revived, other than still needing watering and weeding.
In fact the only plant I have found that seems to survive the Winter reliably is the Money Tree which is just as well! (I don't know about the Omni Plant as I had not completed the Omnificent opportunity by Winter.)
Another thing I have noted is that this only seems to affect plants on your home lot, those in community gardens do survive the Winter and become harvestable again in the Spring. I know there is some different coding there as there is a random chance of a mature community plant becoming harvestable each morning, rather than all of them as they do on your home lot. This does seem like a bug in the code that handles the harvest state versus the dormant state on home lots.
Of course another way to avoid this problem of overwintering plants is to use planters and grow them indoors :) Any indoor space can be used but a greenhouse would look best. Trees can only be planted indoors however if you use the moveobjects on cheat and need more than the standard wall height. Using moo allows you to put them in planters which it does not normally allow, or to leave some of the ground exposed and plant directly in the dirt (note that your Sims will get an unfinished moodlet if you do this).
