Fairfield Farms Nurseries on 301 usually have frost covers. But people use sheets, blankets, duvet covers, large towels, anything handy. In theory, coverings should be removed during the day. But most of us just leave them for the duration of the cold snap.

Usually anything that flowers has to be covered plus robellini palms. If a hibiscus "dies", usually the roots are OK. If you cut it way down in the spring, it will soon come back.
