  WHAT ARE PLANTING ZONES?

  When choosing trees or shrubs for your yard it’s important to select varieties that can thrive year-round in your area, especially in regions where extreme winter temperatures are normal. Planting zones define, generally, which plants you can grow in your area.

  The two most commonly referenced hardiness zone maps are those produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources Canada.

  USDA PLANTING ZONES MAP

  Considered the standard measure of plant hardiness, the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is based on average annual minimum winter temperatures. The map is divided into thirteen distinct 10ºF zones, which are further divided into sub-zones of 5°F.

  PLANTING ZONE TIPS

  Flowers, shrubs, trees, and all plants grow best when planted in the appropriate zone. You’ll find that winter damage occurs most when plants are out of their range or “comfort zone.” When you choose plants for a garden or landscape, avoid selecting plants that are marginally hardy for your region; that’s when you’ll see winter damage, poor growth, and a reduction in flowering.

  Planting native species is a surefire way to achieve a stable landscape.
