Growing in Zone 8

Planting notes from the nursery

  • Choose for form, habitat, and harvest — cold simply isn't the constraint.

  • Some northern natives actually prefer more chill; check bloom and fruiting notes.

  • Wet, mild winters call for good drainage — soggy roots beat cold as the local killer.
