Be sure to read how we assign hardiness zones to our plants.

The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree F zones. Each zone is then subdivided into 5-degree F sub-zones. Zone numbers increase as you move from north to south.

Zone 10a annual minimum winter temperatures should be 30 to 35 °F (-1.1 to 1.7 °C). Zone 10b annual minimum temperatures should be 35 to 40 °F (1.7 to 4.4 °C). Keep in mind that the zone designation does not tell you how many days the area may reach those average minimums. There can also be a major difference between what plants will grow in the 'a' or 'b' sub-zones.
