What Is a Plant Hardiness Zone?
A plant hardiness zone is a geographic area defined by its average minimum winter temperature. In Canada, zones range from colder regions with harsh winters to milder coastal climates.
Each plant is assigned a recommended hardiness zone. If you choose plants suited to your zone, they are much more likely to survive winter and return the following season.
Why Your Grow Zone Matters
Understanding your grow zone helps you:
- Choose plants that survive your local winters
- Avoid wasting money on plants that won’t come back
- Plan planting times more accurately
- Grow healthier, stronger plants
For example, a plant suited for Zone 7 may not survive in Zone 3, where winters are significantly colder.
