When selecting plants for the landscape, it is important to select plants that grow in your climate. The United States has 10 areas of culture or climate. These areas range from the Zone 1 in the northern U.S. to their 10, which covers the southernmost part. Zone 1, is for most of the plants more resistant to cold weather. Temperatures in zone 1 can reach 50 degrees below 0. Zone 10 on the other hand, is a more tropical climate. Zone 10 plants only have to worry about the low temperatures of 30 40 degrees.

The local nursery or garden center should have plants that are appropriate for your
climatic zone. However, if you are buying your seeds or plants through the Internet and,
or through a catalog, you need to know which climate zone you live in, for example

Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and much of Texas. Zone 7 covers

Mountains in Montana. Zone 3 includes the states of cold northern saying,
North Dakota and Wisconsin. Zones 1 and 2 are located mainly in Canada.

Area: -50 degrees to minus 40 degrees

Zone 3: -40 degrees to 30 degrees below zero

Area: -30 ° to -23 is

Zone 5-20 degrees to 10 degrees below zero

Zone 6: -10 degrees to 0 degrees
