Protect plants from a spring freeze
Once winter is over, there is still a chance of a spring freeze. The expert noted: “These cold snaps have been known to wreck a season of blooms.
“If you have wrapped them during the winter, you could leave them wrapped until you are sure that the last frost date has entirely passed. Another option is to cover them just for these cold periods.” This can be done by laying a light blanket over the top of your shrubs until the cold weather has passed.
Gardeners can remove the blankets in the morning to allow the shrub to warm up in the sun, and simply replace the blankets in the evening again. For those growing in containers, just bring them inside for the duration of the cold snap to protect the flower buds.
Water when the frost period is up
Once the ground has thawed it is time to start watering these plants. The expert said: “Water is essential for growth to produce healthy leaves and beautiful flowers. If you allow the plant to dry out you will end up with dry and crispy leaves, as well as flower buds that will not open properly.”
