Not sure about soil defaults to loam. Recommendations are practical starting points, not local extension advice.

    Use these recommendations as a strong starting point.

    Local conditions still matter

    Rankings use ZIP-based hardiness, light, soil, water, and goal fit. Microclimates, drainage, pests, chill hours, and local invasive lists can change the final answer.

    Privacy basics

    The matcher does not ask for an account or save a garden profile. ZIP codes are used in the browser to look up a USDA hardiness zone for the current search.

    Nursery links

    Nursery search links are placeholders while Plant by ZIP is being tested. They are not paid placements and do not affect the plant ranking.
