1. Drape blankets over your plants.
2. Use straw or other effective materials to mulch your plants.
Mulch helps to trap the moisture around the plant, as well as protecting against cold weather. Some prefer mulching over cover their plants, and both are fine. Popular mulching materials are straw, pine needles, bark, and loosely piled leaves.
3. Water your plants BEFORE the frost is expected to come.
Another way to protect your plants from the colder weather is by watering them a day or two before the frost is expected. Wet soils hold more heat than dry soil. Be sure not to saturate the plants while the temps are too low, it will result in frost heave, and can injure the plants.

3 Tips on How To Protect Your Greenery From Frost
1. Drape blankets over your plants.
- The most popular way to guard against frost is by covering your plants.
- Most anything will work, such as old blankets, sheets, and even burlap sacks.
- Drape the plants loosely and secure with stakes, rocks or bricks.
- Lighter materials can just be draped over the plant, though heavier covers may need propping up with a stake.
- Make sure to remove the cover when the sun comes out though, to keep your plants from suffocating.
