How this works

A hardiness zone is the coldest winter temperature your area hits.

The USDA divides the US into 13 zones based on average annual minimum temperature. Zone 3 freezes solid every winter; zone 10 barely sees a frost. If you know your zone, you know what can survive the winter, what needs to come inside, and when to plant.

I'm in zone 7b in Apex — cold enough for a real winter, warm enough to grow muscadine grapes and figs outside. It's the best.
