Generally, land plants of the northern hemisphere have higher frost resistance than those of the southern hemisphere. [1] An example of a frost resistant plant is Drimys winteri which is more frost-tolerant than naturally occurring conifers and vessel-bearing angiosperms such as the Nothofagus that can be found in its range in southern South ...
Examples of xerophytes include cacti, pineapple and some gymnosperm plants. The morphology and physiology of xerophytes are adapted to conserve water during dry periods. Some species called resurrection plants can survive long periods of extreme dryness or desiccation of their tissues , during which their metabolic activity may effectively shut ...
Shoots growing from the underground crown make the plant frost and wildfire resistant, and allow it to survive heavy grazing pressure. The leaves can become up to 300 cm (10 ft) long and 8 mm (3 ⁄ 8 in) wide. [7] The panicles are 15–30 cm (6–12 in) long and have whorled, 25–50 mm (1–2 in) long branches. [7]
Use a frost blanket: Cover plants, trees, and shrubs with frost blanket when temperatures drop. These blankets, available in materials like UV-resistant polypropylene fabric and natural burlap ...

Hardiness of plants is defined by their native extent's geographic location: longitude, latitude and elevation. These attributes are often simplified to a hardiness zone. In temperate latitudes, the term most often describes resistance to cold, or "cold-hardiness", and is generally measured by the lowest temperature a plant can withstand.
An early light frost can wipe out your garden harvest for the season. When a light frost is expected, water your garden to wet the plants. When water freezes it produces heat.
