Answer 1

Gardening zones help you choose plants that will survive your winters; the zones simply reflect how cold winters in your region typically are. A newer concept is heat zones. Designed by the American Horticultural Society, heat zones help you know if a potential plant purchase will do well with the degree of summer heat in your region. It is less likely to be on a plant tag but can be researched online. Here is an article on garden zones. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/...zones/usda-planting-zone-map.htm
