How To Protect Plants From Frost

Stella Fear from Holland Park in London shows you how to protect larger tropical and tender plants from frost, snow and winter winds.

Step 1: You will need

  • Horticultural fleece or Hessian
  • String
  • Scissors

Step 2: Tie up loose branches

Branches and leaves should be tied together to make it easier to cover the plant with the fabric. Tie the branches so they are held vertical with string.

Step 3: Cover

Wrap the plant in fleece or Hessian and tie the fabric to the plant with string. Remove the string and the fabric after the last frost in Spring.
