GardenersCardiff answers:
You are in zone 5a – 6a. Here is a Hardiness Zone Map to look at and also a site that shows what will grow in your zone. Happy gardening!

Lisa asks…
What does “zone” mean in gardening and how do I know what zone I’m in?
We just bought a house and I am starting to plant. I’m new to this and I was researching on how to care for Verbena’s and on a site their talking about it depends on what zone your in. What does it mean and how do I find which one I am. I live in southern CA.
Also can anyone recommend a good gardening forum. Thanks.
GardenersCardiff answers:
The US Department of Agriculture established hardiness zones based on how cold the average winter is in each area. This information is used to determine whether a perennial plant can usually survive from season to season, and some plants can not thrive without a cold season.
Southern CA is mostly in zone 10.
David asks…
Anyone from Montana? I have a gardening question for our zone?
What kinds of perennial flowers do the best in the North Central area? Fairfield, Choteau, Simms, Great Falls, that area? I want to plant some beautiful flowers that will return every year without having to re-plant them each time!
GardenersCardiff answers:
Check out your local garden center, they’ll have great advice, and lots of hearty plants to choose from. My garden center also guarantees it’s plants for one year from the purchase date, so if you do have a hard winter you can replace any losses. Here in Colorado, Day Lillies do great, and my Roses come back every year. I’ve had good luck with Shasta Daisies, and Echanesia too. Good Luck
