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).

Plant Information

Grow our Bird Watcher Native Plant Collection to create a beautiful garden that provides habitat for birds, right in your back yard. Native species and native cultivars are featured in this collection, as they are the best plants to support the web of life, and to create a healthy ecosystem for birds. Remember – beneficial bugs are an important food source for birds! Leave spent flowers standing over the winter for visual interest, and to provide seeds for birds and habitat for overwintering pollinators. Our perennial collections are a great option for enhancing your existing garden, or for giving you a head start when planting a new garden. Repeat the collection to fill in larger spaces and grow more bird habitat.

Our Bird Watcher Native Plant Collection includes 8 plants, covering roughly 90 sq. ft. when planted together:

Common Ironweed – 1 plant
‘American Gold Rush’ Black Eyed Susan – 1 plant
‘Henry's Garnet’ Virginia Sweetspire – 1 plant
Purple Coneflower – 3 plants
Aromatic Aster – 1 plant
Arkansas Blue Star – 1 plant

*Not all plants will be in bloom at the same time, as depicted in the collage. Plants are subject to change due to availability, and if we make substitutions, we feature plants with similar attributes suitable to the collection design.
