| What
are hardiness
zones? |
It seems every
gardening book and nursery catalog
refers to plant hardiness zones, also known as climate zones or growing
zones. If you`re new to gardening, you may be wondering what all the
fuss is with these zones, and how to find out which zone you are
gardening in. Basically,
plant hardiness zones are a guide to help you know which plants will
grow where you live, so you don`t plant things that will soon die just
because they can`t manage your region`s temperatures. Plants vary in
the temperature extremes they can endure. Basic laboratory testing can
determine the lowest sustained temperature a particular plant type can
withstand, but, as gardeners, we still need to know how these
measurements relate to our own gardens.

Zones -- Details |
Zones
2-10 in the map have been subdivided into light- and dark-colored
sections (a and b) that represent 5 F (2.8 C) differences within the 10
F (5.6 C) zone. The light color of each zone represents the colder
section; the dark color, the warmer section. Zone 11 represents any
area where the average annual minimum temperature is above 40 F (4.4 C)
The
map shows 20 latitude and longitude lines. Areas above an arbitrary
elevation are traditionally considered unsuitable for plant cropping
and do not bear appropriate zone designations. There are also island
zones that, because of elevation differences, are warmer or cooler than
the surrounding areas and are given a different zone designation.
te
that many large urban areas carry a warmer zone designation than the
surrounding countryside. The map-contains as much detail as possible,
considering the vast amount of data on which it is based and its size.
