Will Clematis freeze to death during the winter?

1. Will I freeze to death?

Although it is cold-resistant and will not be frozen to death under normal circumstances, it can usually survive the winter normally in the natural environment. However, if the plant is in a low temperature environment for a long time, it will not be able to withstand it and may be frozen to death. It is best to keep the temperature above 0 degrees so that you can spend the winter more safely. If it is planted outside and the climate is relatively cold, you can use foam boards to cover it, which can help it survive the winter. For particularly cold areas, to be on the safe side, you can use potted plants and place them in a greenhouse or indoors during the winter to ensure their safety.

2. Precautions

1. During winter maintenance, you should also pay attention to the differences in varieties, because different varieties have different cold resistance. Varieties like Fireworks and Lyon Village are very cold-resistant and suitable for planting in the north.

2. In order to improve cold resistance, you should also pay attention to water control. Because when water accumulates, the roots are prone to frostbite. You can water the plant thoroughly before autumn and stop watering in winter.

3. Adding more sunlight can increase the robustness of the plants and raise the overall temperature.
