From inches of snow to cool breezes, winter months can take a tool on our plants and flowers. The elements can just be too harsh to bear. Depending on their native locations, plants may wither, suffer from improper nutrition or start dropping leaves and petals faster than we can save them. But despite the heavy toll that Jack Frost can bring, saving your plants can be much easier than you think.

The next time you see colder temps in your forecast, look to these simple tips for flowers that are safe and cozy warm.

If you live in a region with mild winters, a few old sheets may be all you need to save the day. Cover sensitive plants with a sheet on colder nights to keep the frost from setting and causing any serious damage. The sheet can easily be removed and placed as needed. This can also be done in colder regions during the fall or spring, so long as high temperatures still regularly reach above freezing.

Before a light frost, give plants a healthy drink of water. This will help retain the earth’s heat. However, if provided before a hard freeze it can actually damage plants from the roots up.

Using mulch or insulation liners can heat plants as well. While upper portions will still be exposed to the elements, the roots (and heart of the plant) will have an added layer of protection.

Finally, look to plants that are appropriate for your respective climate to host the best fit from the get go. Talk to your local greenhouse or gardener for advice; they’ll know what’s best to plant and the proper steps to help keep each plant healthy.
