What Plants / Vegetables / Fruits Grow Well Where You Live

Your Map To The Garden:

Not all crops grow well in every region. Temperatures, pH Levels, topography, precipitation and more all vary greatly from region to region. Some plants may grow well in Maine but will not survive in Arkansas, and vice versa. One way to determine which plants grow best in your region is to look up your Plant Zone/Hardiness Zone. A Plant Zone/Hardiness Zone is a geographic area categorized as having a certain average annual minimum temperature range.

Use the USDA’s Plant Hardiness Zone Map to find your area’s Zone and growing season. Simply type your zip code into the Zone Map Search to find your area’s results.

The Plant Zones range from 1A to 13A:

• Zone 1A representing -60 to -55 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Zone 13A representing 65 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.

This Zone Map is the standard by which growers and gardeners can determine which perennial plants are most likely to thrive in designated locations. It can be utilized by beginner gardeners and seasoned farmers alike.
