Don’t wait for the damage to happen—take action now & frost-proof your garden with simple, effective solutions!
What Does Frost Do to Your Garden?
🌡️ Freezes Plant Cells:
Frost freezes water in plant cells, causing them to rupture, leading to wilting, blackened leaves, and sometimes plant death.
🥀 Stunts Growth:
The cold can stop non-hardy plants in their tracks, damaging roots and slowing recovery in spring.
🌤️ Reduced Sunlight:
Winter’s shorter days mean your plants struggle to get enough light, weakening their overall health.
💧 Blocks Hydration:
Frozen soil makes it harder for plants to absorb water, leading to dehydration and stressed roots.
💨 Wind Damage:
Winter winds strip moisture, break branches, and leave plants vulnerable to even more damage from the cold.
