How USDA hardiness zones work
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map divides North America into 13 zones based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, in 10°F bands. Zone 1 is the coldest (below −50°F) and Zone 13 the warmest (above 60°F). Each zone is split into “a” and “b” half-zones (5°F each). Knowing your zone tells you which perennials will overwinter and sets the planting and harvest dates you'll see throughout this database.
