New Plant Hardiness Zones
The USDA just came out with all new maps for US Plant Hardiness Zones. The ideal change is how simple the maps are to read. They’re designed for the web and they look great. They’re also the culmination of 30 years of data and should be more accurate. Thankfully there is still a zip code look up, for those of us who want to cut to the chase. Don’t worry, your existing plants will not now they have moved a zone or 2. They’ll still be fine. Here’s a look at the changes made to the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Maps. Then go to the USDA site and find your new zone.
