Frost hardy

Able to survive winter frosts without damage to leaves (in the case of evergreens) or of dormant stems, buds or roots (in the case of deciduous plants). Frost hardiness is a relative concept, in that many plants able to survive a frost of 20 F (-7 C) in, say, southern England would be killed outright by the -30 F (-34 C) frosts experienced in northern USA.
