Top five fall plants that can withstand frost

Which plants can withstand frost nights and are beautiful all year round? It depends a little on how you insulate and which part of the country you live in. Many plants can withstand a few degrees below freezing, but require insulation and care to survive a cold winter. Here are the five most popular plants that can withstand frost and are commonly found on many balconies, patios, and outdoor spaces:,Ivy - an ivy that has taken root can withstand both frost and snow. If you have the ivy in a pot, you can cover it with leaves, pine branches, or burlap to insulate it against the cold. Or buy a frost-resistant pot that insulates the plant's roots. It is green, climbing, and beautiful all year round.Heather - the richly flowering heather comes in several colors and provides a fall floral display in pots and beds. There are different varieties of heather, with varying hardiness.Cyclamen - a colorful flower that thrives best outdoors and can withstand temperatures down to freezing. It needs water in a bowl and thrives in partial shade. A beauty you can admire outdoors in spring and autumn.Skimmia - a winter-tolerant dwarf shrub with berries and flowers that are a delight for the eye all year round. It pairs well with heather in a larger pot.Spruce - a perfect choice when you want something truly hardy in the winter. This small spruce is also nice to decorate with everything from light strings to holly when the season calls for it.

When you have decided to create a garden for lower temperatures, it is important to take care of the plants properly from the beginning. You should water sparingly, since there is less need for water when it is cool. If you have pots with wintering flowers on the balcony, you can insulate them with polystyrene or burlap and place them under a roof or a table to create a protective layer.

In addition to the above-mentioned plants, there are many more that can withstand cold nights, frost, and snow. Lily of the Valley comes in different colors and thrives best in partial shade to shade. The larger varieties also do well in an insulated pot outdoors during the winter months.Eastern arborvitae is an evergreen tree that has no trouble surviving the winter. It thrives in a large, insulated pot with plenty of soil. As a bonus, it naturally forms a spherical shape.Clematis is a climbing plant that many people plant late in the spring against a trellis.
