I have a simple question. If the spring weather drops below freezing should I take the same precautions as if there were a frost warning? I live in central OH (Zone 5) and have some perennials that are leafing out (I am particularly concerned about a Japanese Maple and a Marcophylla Hydrangea) and we are about to experience overnight lows below freezing. I have watched the evening news and checked the internet but do NOT see any frost warnings. Should I cover these plants? Is it only the frost I should worry about or can the cold air also kill the new growth & buds?
Thanks
