Zone Gardening Tips
Match Plants to Zone
Always check plant tags for hardiness zone ratings before purchasing.
Consider Microclimates
South-facing walls and low spots can create mini-zones in your yard.
Push Boundaries Carefully
Growing one zone warmer is possible with protection and good placement.
Native Plants Excel
Native species are adapted to your exact climate conditions.
Know Your Frost Dates
First and last frost dates matter as much as hardiness zone.
Test Before Investing
Try one plant before buying multiples of borderline-hardy species.
