frost-resistant
Survives freezing temperatures
Frost-resistant describes something able to withstand freezing temperatures without damage.
The term applies most often to plants that survive cold snaps: frost-resistant varieties of tomatoes.
It also describes materials engineered to endure freeze-thaw cycles: frost-resistant concrete, frost-resistant tiles.
