Hardiness Zone

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.

Refer to our Hardiness Zone map to help you understand what plants would suit your geographic area based on average annual temperatures.
