      2012 New Plant Hardiness Zones ( UPDATED )

      USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map

      The 2012 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location. The map is based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree F zones.

      'Plants are retreating North'
      Earlier this year, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) finally listened to what landscape architects, researchers, and gardeners have been saying for some time: plant hardiness zones are retreating north across the country. While the USDA argues that its new plant hardiness map, the first update since 1990, doesn’t show a clear connection with climate change, some experts disagree.

      The USDA may have to redraw the map again soon, this zone 7b (in times of old) just had a zone 9a Winter, not a beep below 20f
