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 7a annual minimum winter temperatures should be 0 to 5 °F (-18 to -15 °C). Zone 7b annual minimum temperatures should be 5 to 10 °F (-15 to -12 °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.
