Hebertshausen master gardener Georg Roth gives tips on how flowers that have already been planted can still survive. Around 2,000 plants from 180 customers are currently stored in the Hebertshauser nursery.
Deliveries will increasingly begin at the end of April - just when the risk of night frost decreases. The ice saints in May are no longer 'as relevant' compared to before due to climate change, emphasizes the master gardener. The drop in temperature these days can cost the lives of the flowers that are already planted. Anyone who has already been tempted to buy by colorful brochures and cheap offers can protect their plants: "Either bring them in or cover them up," advises the expert. He is the third generation of his family to run the nursery in the city of Dachau. The cold snap comes as no surprise; "it's appropriate for the time of year."
