The USDA has collected weather information over the past thirty years to divide the United States into hardiness zones, as represented on this map.
The most recent map, which was released at the end of 2023, is more intricate and sophisticated than its predecessor.
This updated version considers the general winter warming trend, as well as other factors, including elevation and proximity to a significant body of water. Your gardening zone can be readily identified by selecting the Ohio plant map above.
Ohio is divided into three subzones: 5b, 6a, 6b, and 7a, and does not experience a significant amount of winter weather extreme variation.
In Ohio, there are numerous plants that can survive the coldest average winter extreme temperature of -15F.
Despite the fact that the majority of local nurseries will carry plants that are native to your area, it is always recommended to verify the planting zone prior to buying any items for your garden.
