USDA Hardiness Zones
These Zones are based on the average annual minimum temperature expressed in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) ) or Celsius (°C). The main factors determining average minimum temperature are elevation, latitude and proximity to the coast. Minimum winter temperatures are a major determinant of whether a particular plant selection can be successfully grown outside year around. However, the USDA Hardiness Zones do not take into account other aspects influencing plant survival and performance, such as snow cover, summer heat, humidity, soil moisture, spring frosts, etc.
