Growing a plant out of its hardiness zone

Question

I want to buy a plant that is listed as zones 4-9. My zone is 10. Will it thrive?

Answer 1

As long as you can provide shade, or cover for it during the hottest portions of your climate then it can be possible. What is the plant? There may be a way to grow this in container, or even provide conditions as long as you are mindful of its tolerances.
