Frost garden with cardoons.

Learning how to protect plants from frost is a must when cold weather is on the way. Frost can affect many plants, and is particularly damaging to tropical and ornamental varieties, as well as any tender new growth that has appeared as a result of a mild fall.

Frost causes unsightly scorching and blackening of leaves, and also damages blossom petals in spring. Being prepared and providing protection rather than getting caught out means you can keep all your plants healthy right through the cold season.
