Do you know your Plant Hardiness Zone? It’s an important piece of information to have before you purchase plants for your garden because it helps you determine which plants will survive in your area.
In February 2012, the USDA released a new Plant Hardiness Zone Map, the first update in 25 years. Additions to the map are Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. You will also see a very detailed breakdown of each zone.
An interactive version of the map is now available at the USDA Agricultural Research Service.
Click on your state, or enter in your zip code to get your hardiness zone.
