8 Best Plant Blankets to Keep Your Garden Safe From the Cold

Key Specs

• Dimensions: 130 feet x 5 inches
• Material: Breathable non-woven fabric
• Thickness: N/A
• Color: Green
• Type: Cover

This breathable wrap is specifically designed for tree trunks, and should protect them against cold temperatures as well as high heat that can scorch or damage their bark.

This set includes a pair of 65-foot x 5-inch rolls—covering about 130 feet in total—so you shouldn’t have a problem protecting a large outdoor space or multiple plants. This frost blanket is also an effective insect repellent, keeping bugs out while still allowing air and moisture to pass through.

Its thick material also makes it a good choice for those who want to protect their trees against deer antlers, although it’s probably not durable enough to stand up to frequent abuse.

Key Specs

• Dimensions: 10 x 7.5 inches
• Material: Plastic
• Thickness: N/A
• Color: Transparent
• Style: Dome

If you’d like to maintain visibility while keeping your plants covered, these reusable plastic domes could be a great option. Their 10-inch height is ideal for a range of smaller plants and, thanks to a rotating vent, you can easily control the air and water circulation inside them.

Better yet, they won’t put any additional pressure on branches and buds like fabrics can sometimes do, making them ideal for more delicate plants. They’re held securely in place by the included metal stakes, ensuring that they won’t blow away in windy conditions, or become knocked over by nosy animals. The included label markers are a nice perk, as well.
