Winter Plant Cover 180x120cm for Plants, Shrubs and Small Trees

Help prepare your Mediterranean and frost-sensitive plants for the colder months with this practical winter plant cover from Intergard. Low temperatures, frost and cold winter winds can put vulnerable plants under stress. A suitable plant cover provides an additional layer of protection against winter conditions.

The winter cover is permeable to water, light and air. Its cocoon-shaped design wraps around the plant, while the open bottom makes it easier to place over suitable plants, shrubs and small trees.

This plant cover is a practical choice for gardeners who want to give vulnerable plants extra attention during winter. The amount of protection required depends on the plant species, its location and the weather conditions.

Why Use a Winter Plant Cover?

Garden plants vary in their ability to tolerate low temperatures. Mediterranean plants, young plants and frost-sensitive ornamental varieties may need additional care during winter. A winter cover forms a protective layer around the plant and helps reduce exposure to cold winds and drying winter air.

As the material allows water, light and air to pass through, the cover is designed for use around living plants. Place it over the plant before severe frost is expected and check the plant regularly throughout winter.

Benefits of the Winter Plant Cover

• Helps protect vulnerable plants from winter cold.
• Suitable for appropriate Mediterranean and frost-sensitive plants, shrubs and small trees.
• Water-permeable material.
• Allows light to pass through rather than completely blocking daylight.
• Air-permeable design that allows air circulation.
• Cocoon shape that wraps around the plant.
• Open bottom for convenient placement.
• A practical addition to winter plant care.

Which Plants Can Use This Winter Cover?

The cover can be used for plants that need additional winter protection, provided its size and shape are suitable for the plant.

• Suitable Mediterranean plants that are sensitive to low temperatures.
• Frost-sensitive ornamental plants in the garden.
• Appropriately sized shrubs and small trees.
• Young plants that need extra care during cold weather.
• Plants that may dry out when exposed to cold winds.

Check that the cover is large enough for the whole plant before use. Some plant species may require additional protection during severe or prolonged frost.

How to Use a Winter Plant Cover

1. Check the plant: Inspect its condition and remove dead material only where appropriate for the species.
2. Choose the right time: Put the cover in place before severe frost is forecast.
3. Position the cover: Carefully place it over the plant, avoiding unnecessary bending or compression of branches.
4. Check the fit: Make sure the cover sits appropriately around the plant and that the bottom remains open as designed.
5. Inspect regularly: During winter, check that the cover remains in place and that the plant continues to receive suitable care.
6. Adjust protection when needed: When weather conditions improve, assess whether the cover can temporarily be removed.

Tips for Overwintering Plants

• Where possible, move potted plants to a sheltered spot away from strong cold winds.
• Check the soil during frost-free periods and avoid both excessive dryness and persistently waterlogged soil.
• For Mediterranean plants, consider the combined effects of low temperatures, wind and moisture.
• Regularly check that the cover is correctly positioned.
• Additional protection may be needed during severe or prolonged frost, depending on the plant species.

Care and Reuse

After use, inspect the cover for dirt or damage. Allow it to dry when necessary before storing it in a clean, dry place. It may be reused in a future winter season if the material remains in suitable condition.
