USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
Monarch Butterflies need our help! Plant our Eastern Monarch Refuge Plant Collection in your garden to support endangered Monarch butterflies. As development across the country has reduced their natural habitat, gardeners can play an important role in helping their population rebound. How? By planting Milkweed (Asclepias), their host plant, which is essential for their survival. Milkweed leaves provide the food that Monarch caterpillars need to grow. In addition to Milkweed, planting nectar plants that bloom all season helps to feed adult Monarch butterflies, fueling their long migrations each spring and fall.
Milkweed, Joe Pye, Aster, Black Eyed Susan, and Bee Balm all have extended bloom times to offer reliable nectar sources. This garden is best for states east of the Rocky Mountains.
The Eastern Monarch Refuge Plant Collection includes 8 plants, covering approximately 40 square feet when planted together:
*Not all plants will be in bloom at the same time, as depicted on the illustration. Plants are subject to change due to availability. If we make substitutions, we feature plants with similar attributes suitable to the collection design.
