USDA Map Showcasing Planting Zones Across Florida
In the sunshine state of Florida, gardening is a cherished pastime. To ensure a thriving garden, it's crucial to understand the plant growing zones in Florida. Local plant nurseries make this task easier by labelling plants with the zone they will grow in.
The map of Florida, colour-coded, corresponds to these planting zones. By identifying your location on this map, you can determine the suitable planting zone for your garden.
The Florida planting zone can be identified by matching the colour of your area to the map legend on the right. This map, created to show the new hardiness zones for Florida, is based on the 2023 USDA plant hardiness zone map.
The current USDA Plant Hardiness Zone for Florida, considering climate change updates, generally ranges from Zone 8a in the northern parts to Zone 11a in the southernmost regions. To find the zone for your specific location, use the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map available online, where you input your zip code or location to find the precise zone.
Successful gardening in Florida depends on planting flowers, trees, vegetables, and other plants appropriate for the growing zone. In some cases, higher-zone plants may need to be brought indoors during the winter, or extra protection may be required for their growth if they are in a higher zone than yours.
