Plant Hardiness Zones what are they and what aren’t they.
#GardenLessons
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zones tell you the 30 year average coldest temperatures for your location. That is all. That means that a perennial plant that is hardy to your zone should survive the winter.
The Plant Hardiness Zones do not tell you any of the following:
- The 30 year average high temperatures for your location
- The 30 year climate for your location
- The amount of or type of percipitation you can expect in your zone
- How the elevation impacts the weather in your zone
- What kind of soil you have
- What plants will do well in your zone
- What plants you are allowed to grow
- When to plant your tomatoes
- When to start seeds
I could go on and on and on…
