Zone 7a and zone 7b

Zone 7a represents 0 to 5°F and 7b 5 to 10°F in average annual extreme minimum temperature. Our records use whole-zone ranges, so this list cannot resolve borderline half-zone cultivar ratings. A zone does not supply first/last frost dates or a planting date; check local weather and extension calendars.

What is actually hard about zone 7

A winter-temperature range does not protect flowers from every late frost. Check the species, bud sensitivity and local frost forecast. A 7a/7b label does not determine a planting date. Assess shelter, exposed corners and bud damage on the actual property instead of applying a uniform calendar to the whole zone.

Showing 36 of 2,714, sorted to span the back, middle and front of a bed. Filter by light to narrow it.

Where these numbers come from

The ZIP lookup uses PRISM Climate Group’s 2023 hardiness data (40,502 ZIP records). The catalogue uses stored NC State and Missouri Botanical Garden records. A versioned public extract and filtering method are linked below; upstream lifecycle and plant-type tags can conflict.

Card prices are internal container-size budgeting estimates, not current nursery quotes or stock checks. Verify lifecycle, cultivar, local restrictions, soil, drainage and dimensions. This is not the official USDA map.
