How to use this page

Start here, then verify your exact ZIP.

These pages are generated from Plant by ZIP's plant database and metric fields. They are meant to be useful zone-level guides, not duplicate pages for every ZIP code.

Use hardiness as the first gate

These plants fit USDA 7A by database range. A ZIP lookup still matters because county, elevation, coast, and city heat can move frost risk.

Check the season window

For planting calendars, Plant by ZIP uses practical frost-window heuristics. Soil temperature and the 10-day forecast still decide the exact day.

Use profile data before buying

Open plant profiles for spacing, container minimums, first output, water needs, relationship cards, and sourced metric notes.

Database-backed picks

Sorted by hardiness fit, sourced planning data, water practicality, and relevance to this page's intent.
