USDA Hardiness Zone Map
Use this map to find your USDA Hardiness Zone, a great guide to help you select plants that will thrive in your yard.
Climate Maps
Creating an attractive garden means more than coordinating colors and selecting eye-catching varieties. Aesthetics don't mean much if weather conditions wild, freeze, or decay tender plants.
Climate maps, such as the USDA Hardiness Zone map, show low-temperature extremes by Zone. Choose plants best adapted to your Zone and plant them at the right time to increase your chance of success.
Use climate maps as a general guide; many microclimates may exist within a 1-mile radius of your home. Even within your yard, variations in exposure and topography can affect plants.

Then work your way down the list and down the map. The list goes cold to hot and the map from top to bottom is cold to hot. Now try again..... best wishes.
