Did you know every region in the US & Canada is designated a Hardiness Zone number? The lower the number, the colder it is in that region. You should always choose a plant that has the same zone as your location, or lower. This will ensure your plants will survive the winter in your area.
Living on the edge of a zone? Opt for the lower number to ensure survival in the coldest of winters.
