Unit price perEstimated delivery between October 04 and October 06.
The Growers Own Easy Fleece Jacket 50gsm provides quick, convenient frost protection for container plants, shrubs and young plants during cold weather. Measuring 1.8m x 2m, the 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 still allowing light, air and moisture to pass through. This makes it a practical alternative to repeatedly wrapping individual plants with sheets of horticultural fleece.
Simply open the zipper, position the jacket around the plant and close it before securing the drawstring at the base. The generous 1.8m x 2m size is particularly useful for larger container plants and shrubs that need additional protection during cold snaps and winter weather.
Why choose the Growers Own Easy Fleece Jacket?
- Ready-made frost protection cover - no cutting, wrapping or tying sheets of fleece around individual plants.
- 50gsm polypropylene fleece - heavier protective fleece for overwintering vulnerable plants.
- Large 1.8m x 2m size - suitable for larger container plants, shrubs and young plants.
- Full-length zipper - makes fitting, removal and access to the protected plant much easier.
- Drawstring base - helps secure the jacket around the pot, container or base of the plant.
- Breathable material - allows light, air and moisture to reach the plant.
- Protection from frost and cold winds - provides an additional barrier during harsh winter conditions.
- Reusable design - can be removed, dried and stored for future cold-weather protection.
Quick frost protection for larger plants
Protecting established container plants and shrubs with conventional fleece can involve wrapping several layers around the plant and securing them with ties. A ready-made fleece jacket makes the process considerably quicker.
The zipper allows the cover to open widely rather than having to pull the entire jacket down over delicate branches or foliage. Once positioned, close the zipper and use the drawstring around the base to help keep the cover securely in place.
This also makes the jacket easy to open when the plant needs checking, watering or additional ventilation during milder weather.
Ideal for overwintering container plants & shrubs
The 1.8m x 2m Easy Fleece Jacket is suitable for protecting a wide range of vulnerable plants, including:
- Large container plants
- Patio plants
- Tender and semi-hardy shrubs
- Young trees and ornamental plants
- Recently established plants
- Plants vulnerable to sudden cold snaps
- Overwintering plants in sheltered outdoor positions
The level of protection required will depend on the plant species, local conditions and severity of the weather. Particularly tender plants may require additional protection or a frost-free overwintering location during prolonged severe cold.
Breathable 50gsm horticultural fleece
Unlike an impermeable plastic cover, horticultural fleece is designed to remain breathable. Light, air and moisture can pass through the material while the fleece provides an additional protective layer around the plant.
The 50gsm weight gives this jacket a substantial construction for winter plant protection while retaining the flexibility needed to fit around foliage and containers.
During extended periods of milder weather, plants should still be checked regularly and the cover opened or removed when appropriate to maintain suitable growing conditions.
How to use the Easy Fleece Jacket
Open the zipper and carefully position the fleece around the plant, taking care not to force the material against delicate branches. Close the zipper and tighten the drawstring sufficiently to secure the base.
For container plants, the jacket can be positioned around the plant and pot as appropriate. Remember that the fleece primarily protects the above-ground plant. In very cold conditions, vulnerable containers and root systems may benefit from additional insulation.
Check the plant periodically throughout winter, particularly following strong winds, heavy rain or significant changes in temperature.
Reusable winter plant protection
After the risk of frost has passed, remove the jacket carefully and allow it to dry fully before storage. Fold it loosely and keep it in a clean, dry location ready for the following season.
Reusing the jacket across multiple winters makes it a convenient addition to the seasonal plant-protection kit for gardeners, nurseries and garden retailers.

Growers Own Easy Fleece Jacket FAQs
What does 50gsm fleece mean?
GSM means grams per square metre and describes the weight of the fleece material. This jacket uses 50gsm polypropylene fleece, giving it a more substantial construction than lightweight crop fleece.
Does the plant fleece let light and moisture through?
Yes. The polypropylene fleece is breathable and allows light, air and moisture to pass through while providing an additional protective barrier around the plant.
Why does the fleece jacket have a zipper?
The zipper makes the jacket easier to fit around larger plants without forcing the cover over branches and foliage. It also provides convenient access when the plant needs checking or watering.
What is the drawstring for?
The drawstring helps secure the bottom of the fleece around the plant or container, reducing the chance of the cover being displaced by wind.
Can I use the jacket on potted plants?
Yes. It is particularly useful for overwintering vulnerable container and patio plants that cannot easily be moved to a frost-free location.
Does the fleece protect the plant roots as well?
The jacket primarily provides protection around the plant. Containers and root systems can still become very cold, so vulnerable pots may require additional insulation during severe winter conditions.
Can the Easy Fleece Jacket be reused?
Yes. Provided it remains in good condition, allow the fleece to dry after use and store it somewhere clean and dry for reuse during future cold weather.
Should I leave the fleece jacket on all winter?
Use it according to the plant and weather conditions. Check covered plants regularly and consider opening or removing the jacket during prolonged mild periods where additional protection is unnecessary.
Is fleece enough for very tender plants?
That depends on the plant and the temperatures experienced. A fleece jacket provides useful additional protection, but very tender species may still require a sheltered or frost-free location during severe or prolonged cold.
