The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map helps gardeners and homeowners determine which plants are best suited for their region. Zones are based on average minimum winter temperatures and serve as a guide for selecting plants that can survive local climate conditions. 

Before purchasing a tree, shrub, or perennial, it's important to know your USDA hardiness zone. While choosing plants recommended for your zone increases the likelihood of success, factors such as sunlight, soil, water, and proper care also play a key role in plant health and performance.

Use the map above to identify your planting zone and make informed decisions for a thriving landscape.
