Easily identify which plants survive and thrive best in your zone
Garden Design website has a wonderful new tool to assist gardeners in identifying (and seeing beautiful pictures of) plants that will survive winters in our Zone 3-4 and thrive too.
USDA hardiness zones are based on average annual minimum winter temperatures, but doesn’t account for other factors like heat, humidity, rainfall, and soil conditions.
Their new online tool provides some of the most popular perennials, shrubs, and trees to grow in Zone 3 and 4 gardens (and all the other zones too, should you wish to explore those).
