A sheet of material exhibiting a decorative floral pattern is used as a protective plant covering in conjunction with a plurality of removable fasteners. The sheet has a peripheral edge preferably defining an area sized to permit wrapping of the sheet in full, uncut form around a single, larger plant, or cutting of the sheet into multiple pieces to wrap a plurality of smaller plants on an individual basis. A non-woven material may be used so that it will not unravel if cut into sections. The material may also be at least semi-transparent to permit floral features of the plant to show through so that the material is less conspicuous when installed. Preferably a design element defining a cell is used having an area substantially less than that of the sheet, which is then replicated in a repeating manner to permit slitting, sectioning, and installation without regard for the orientation of the design. To assist the installed sheet in appearing more visually convincing, a process of producing the final product may include the steps of generating an image of a living plant, converting the image into a form suitable for printing, and printing the converted image onto the sheet. To correct for compression of the image on either side when the sheet is wrapped around a plant, the aspect ratio of the image may be adjusted so that the printed image appears more lifelike when the sheet is wrapped around the plant.
