Best Plant Frost Covers

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Container plants on a balcony feel the cold faster than those in the ground, since roots sit exposed in pots with air on every side. Frost covers give them a protective layer through cold snaps, helping tender herbs and flowers survive into the shoulder seasons. Breathable fleece lets plants breathe while trapping warmth, unlike plastic that can cause condensation. Look for drawstring or pot-fitting styles that stay put in wind, and a size that suits your containers. Reusable covers you can lift on and off make it easy to protect plants overnight and uncover them by day.
