Frost and Freeze Plant Protect and Care
Most of our native plants, like inland sea oats, need no protection from freezing weather. We prune back in spring to make way for new growth. Until then, we can leave perennials alone to harbor overwintering creatures and pollinators and to protect plant roots. Also, pruning too early during weather swings in early winter can prompt new growth that can be killed by a hard freeze.
