What growing zone am I in?

Enter your ZIP code.

Enter your 5-digit ZIP code. Your zone comes from the official 2023 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map data.

What your zone means

Your zone is based on the average coldest winter night where you live, from weather data for 1991 to 2020. Each zone is 10°F wide; "a" is the colder half and "b" the warmer half. Use it to check plant tags: if your zone is inside a plant's listed range, it should survive a typical winter.

Zones can vary within a ZIP code with elevation, slope and nearness to water, so treat the result as a guide.
