Tender plants have soft, succulent tissues and are easily damaged or killed by freezing temperatures (unless protected). Examples of tender plants include summer garden crops like tomatoes, basil, cucumber, squash, peppers, and eggplant along with tropical fruit trees (citrus, mango, banana, avocados), succulents, most annual flowers, and common houseplants. Young sprouts and seedlings are also considered tender, even if they’ll grow up to be cold-tolerant plants (such as broccoli or cabbage seedlings).

One of the best ways to protect plants from freezing conditions is with specialized frost cloth or fabric garden bed covers, also known as horticultural fleece.

When plants are exposed to freezing temperatures and frost (which can occur at 36°F or below), ice crystals form and burst plant cells – most commonly within their leaves. When this happens, it disrupts the plants ability to provide water or nutrients to those areas. In turn, frost-damaged leaves or plant tissues appear soggy, scorched, dark, thin, and limp. Young and tender plants are the most susceptible to frost damage, so they will need more protection during a cold snap.

Prefabricated, customised, loose, with accessories, welded spacers, flying ends, and any shape you need. It really helps if tender plants are grown in containers so you can bring them indoors easily. If they’re in the ground you can dig them up and put them in pots to bring inside. The ideal place for tender, outdoor plants is a cool greenhouse. This will keep the frost off and the temperature above freezing, and make sure the plants get light and stay dry. This last point is really important as damp air and wet soil kill plants as often as freezing temperatures.

But it's not quite as simple as that because the temperature in cities is higher than in the countryside, and the north of the UK is colder than the south. If in doubt, err on the side of caution and protect your plants. Do you know your area’s frost dates? Use our Homestead and Chill planting calendars (available for every USDA hardiness zone) to see and plan! The vertical blue line represents the average last frost date in spring, while the vertical red line represents the average first frost in fall.

This still applies for deliveries out of our local area but please note that we use independent carriers so be aware that there may be external factors which we cannot control (e.g Far out postcodes or local traffic situations) Materials delivered direct from the manufacturer. It is breathable and so resists condensation and associated spoilage of the contents. It is very durable and can withstand rough handling in transit; these properties have also led to its use for temporary protection as wet covering to prevent rapid moisture loss in setting of cement and concrete by the construction industry. Choose season-appropriate plants. Meaning, grow heat-loving plants in the summer time and cold hardy plants in the early spring, fall, or winter garden. This may sound like common sense, but could confuse new gardeners! For instance, even though they’re called “winter squash”, hard squash and pumpkins should be grown during the summer; they’re not frost tolerant. Hessian can also be used for erosion control, as well as for arts and crafts applications, at Christmas, weddings, fayres and more. It is particularly popular for use with lime mortar, where protection against the elements is necessary to allow carbonation to take place.
