The Growers Own Easy Fleece Jacket 50gsm provides quick and convenient frost protection for container plants, shrubs and young plants during cold weather. Measuring 1.5m x 1.8m, this ready-made plant cover features a full-length zipper for easy access and a drawstring base for securing the fleece around the plant or container.

Manufactured from 50gsm breathable polypropylene fleece, the jacket creates a protective layer around vulnerable plants while allowing light, air and moisture to pass through. It offers a simple alternative to cutting and repeatedly wrapping plants with sheets of horticultural fleece.

The 1.5m x 1.8m size is ideal for medium-sized container plants, patio plants, shrubs and young plants that require additional protection during cold snaps and winter weather.

Easy frost protection for plants

Protecting individual plants with loose sheets of fleece can be time-consuming, particularly when plants need to be uncovered and recovered as weather conditions change. The Growers Own Easy Fleece Jacket provides a ready-made solution that can be fitted quickly.

Open the zipper, position the fleece around the plant and close it before securing the drawstring at the base. The zipped opening also makes it easier to check or access the plant without completely removing the cover.

Suitable applications include:

  • Container and patio plants
  • Tender and semi-hardy shrubs
  • Young ornamental plants
  • Recently established plants
  • Plants vulnerable to sudden cold snaps
  • Seasonal overwintering protection

Breathable 50gsm horticultural fleece

Horticultural fleece provides protection without completely sealing the plant inside an impermeable covering. The material allows light, air and moisture to pass through while creating an additional protective layer around vulnerable foliage.

The 50gsm construction provides a useful balance between protection and breathability for seasonal winter use. Plants should still be checked regularly, particularly during prolonged periods of milder weather.

How to use the Easy Fleece Jacket

Open the zipper fully and carefully position the jacket around the plant. Avoid forcing the fleece over delicate branches or foliage. Once correctly positioned, close the zipper and use the drawstring to secure the bottom of the jacket.

Check the cover periodically following strong winds or changes in weather conditions and make sure the plant continues to receive appropriate water and ventilation.

For plants growing in containers, remember that the fleece primarily protects the plant above ground. Vulnerable pots and root systems may require additional insulation during particularly cold conditions.

Choosing the right fleece jacket size

This 1.5m x 1.8m Easy Fleece Jacket is the more compact option in the Growers Own range and is well suited to medium-sized plants and containers.

Before choosing a size, measure both the height and widest point of the plant and allow enough room for the fleece to sit comfortably around the foliage without excessive compression.

Reusable winter plant protection

When frost protection is no longer required, remove the jacket carefully and allow it to dry thoroughly before storage. Store it in a clean, dry location so it is ready for the next period of cold weather.

Growers Own Easy Fleece Jacket FAQs

What size is this plant fleece jacket?

This version measures 1.5m x 1.8m and is designed for appropriately sized container plants, shrubs and young plants.

What does 50gsm mean?

GSM means grams per square metre and describes the weight of the fleece material. This jacket is manufactured from 50gsm polypropylene fleece.

Does the fleece allow light and water through?

Yes. The fleece is breathable and allows light, air and moisture to pass through while providing an additional protective layer around the plant.

Why does the frost cover have a zipper?

The zipper makes the jacket easier to position around plants and provides convenient access for checking or watering without having to pull the entire cover over the foliage.

Can I use this fleece jacket on potted plants?

Yes. It is particularly useful for protecting vulnerable container and patio plants during cold weather.

What does the drawstring base do?

The drawstring allows the bottom of the jacket to be tightened around the plant or container, helping to keep the fleece securely positioned.

Can the fleece jacket be reused?

Yes. If it remains in good condition, dry it thoroughly after use and store it somewhere clean and dry for future cold-weather protection.

Will the fleece protect the roots of a container plant?

The jacket primarily protects the above-ground parts of the plant. During severe cold, vulnerable containers may need additional insulation to help protect the root zone.

Should the fleece jacket stay on throughout winter?

Use the cover according to the plant and prevailing weather. Check protected plants regularly and open or remove the jacket during extended mild periods where additional protection is unnecessary.

How do I know if the 1.5m x 1.8m size will fit my plant?

Measure the plant's height and widest point before purchase and allow sufficient room for the fleece to fit around the foliage without tightly compressing branches or leaves.
