Plant Killed by Frost

Frost Protek™ Plant Covers protect plants from frost and other damaging weather conditions. It's made of the same fabric used by commercial growers for plant protection.

Better Protection    Frost Protek™ fabric insulates better than makeshift items such as sheets and blankets — and its drawstring closure keeps the cover in place and holds in warmth around the plant.

Leave on Indefinitely    In bad weather, Frost Protek™ Plant Covers may be left on the plant indefinitely (days or weeks) as needed. There's no need to remove the cover each morning and replace it each evening. The cover is made of lightweight, breathable fabric that enables air and UV light to reach the plant.

Frost

Frost Protek™ Plant Covers protect plants against damage due to light frost. The cover protects 4°F to 6°F below freezing (to 26°F or -3.0° C).

Plants can be prematurely killed or damaged by frost. Annual plants and native warm climate plants are especially vulnerable to damage. Perennial plants are more tolerant of frost. Container plantings and hanging baskets are particularly susceptible to frost damage because the roots are above ground and therefore don't have the added warmth that the ground holds.

Rain and Wind

Frost Protek™ Plant Covers help protect plants from damage due to heavy rain. Too much water can drown plants, and potted plants are especially vulnerable to drainage problems.

Frost Protek™ Plant Covers contain foliage and blossoms and help protect them from damage due to strong wind.

Plants can be damaged when transporting them by vehicle, and the Frost Protek™ cover can help protect them from the elements and handling during transit.
