Growing in Zone 3

Planting notes from the nursery

  • Favour early-ripening selections — the growing season, not the winter, is usually the limit.

  • Snow is insulation: plant shrubs where drifts collect and they'll overwinter better.

  • Water hard in late fall; plants that enter winter dry are the ones that don't wake up.
