Can someone help me understand frost.
What happens?
Why is it that a bit of fleece over my mother's hydrangeas protects them? Surely the temperature would drop to freezing in the soil regardless of that bit of fleece.
And why, if fleece works, did a person in a nursery tell me that my tender plants (heliotropes) would need to be in a heated greenhouse, and an unheated one wouldn't do?
Do unheated greenhouses benefit only some plants?
And why does frost not necessarily affect all the leaves on a plant?
Thanks!
