Whenever you buy a flat of flowers of vegetables at your local Spokane nursery, it’s likely that you’ve seen a small notation on the plant tag that read “Zone” followed by a number.

Perhaps you merely shrugged and placed the plant in a container or your front yard anyway. If you’ve scratched your head and wondered what this information was trying to communicate, our landscaping experts have some answers for you!

What Is Hardiness?

The number that you saw was actually one of 10 plant hardiness zones as delineated by the USDA. Their agricultural experts have determined that hardiness “is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location.”

The annual USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map “is based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree F zones.”

Plants within your region’s specific hardiness zone should be able to survive the winter, thus blooming year after year. As professional
