Winter plant protection involves a variety of techniques used to shield plants from the harsh conditions of winter, including cold temperatures, frost, snow, and drying winds. This maintenance task includes mulching around the base of plants to insulate roots, wrapping or covering plants with burlap or frost blankets, and applying anti-desiccant sprays to reduce moisture loss in evergreens. In regions with heavy snow, it may also involve staking or tying up plants to prevent damage from snow accumulation. For container plants, moving them to a sheltered location or indoors may be necessary. Proper winter plant protection helps prevent winter kill, frost damage, and desiccation, ensuring that plants survive the winter and emerge healthy in the spring.
