What is a USDA Hardiness Zone?Updated 2 months ago

USDA Hardiness Zones help gardeners understand which plants are most likely to thrive in their region. Zones are based on the average minimum winter temperatures in a given area.

Knowing your zone is essential when choosing perennials, so you can be confident your plants will survive the highs and lows of your local climate.

Not sure what your zone is? At the top of our site, you'll see a box that says "Enter Your Zipcode". Fill this out and we'll tell you which zone you are in.
