Zones: 2023 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map ZIP code data, USDA Agricultural Research Service and the PRISM Climate Group, Oregon State University (official map). Place names: GeoNames (CC BY 4.0). Each ZIP code gets one zone, but a ZIP code can cross a zone line, and hills, valleys and towns can be warmer or colder than the zone shown.
About the Hardiness Zone Map
The Hardiness Zone Map finds your USDA plant hardiness zone, also called your planting or growing zone, from your ZIP code. Zones are based on the average coldest winter night of the year: each zone is 10 °F wide and split into a and b halves of 5 °F, from zone 1a in Alaska to 13b in Puerto Rico. Plant labels and seed packets give the coldest zone a plant can survive, so knowing your zone tells you which perennials, shrubs and trees can stay outside all winter. Zones come from the official 2023 USDA map ZIP code data for all 50 states, Washington DC and Puerto Rico.
