Climate Zone Map
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is an essential tool for selecting trees, shrubs, and perennials suited to your climate. By identifying average annual minimum temperatures across the United States, the map helps gardeners, farmers, and land stewards determine which plant species are most likely to thrive in their region. Understanding your zone is a foundational step in building resilient landscapes and successful native plantings.
The USDA publishes a variety of Plant Hardiness Zone Maps. We find them to be very useful when determining if a given species will work well in a given area.
