The Plant Hardiness Zone Map was updated for the 2024
gardening season with the addition of thousands more
local weather stations. Look at your growing zone or
gardening zone to understand which plants can survive
your area’s climate. Did your planting zone change?
What Are Planting Zones?
When choosing perennial plants for your garden, 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 generally define
which plants can survive winter in your area, and zones
are typically listed in plant growing guides for
reference.
The most commonly referenced hardiness zone map is
produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
