The Plant Hardiness Zone Map was originally created by the United States Department of Agriculture and is based on average annual minimum temperatures.
It is referenced on this site only as a general guide to how well a plant will perform in a given area. Other factors such as rainfall and heat also affect how well a plant will do.
Check with your local garden organizations for a list of the native plants in your area and be sure to check the Plant Hardiness Zone Map to see what plants will grow in your area.
