The 2012 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location. The map is based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree F zones.
For the first time, the map is available as an
interactive GIS-based map, for which a broadband Internet connection is
recommended, and as static images for those with slower Internet access.
Users may also simply type in a ZIP Code and find the hardiness zone
for that area.
No posters of the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map
have been printed. But state, regional, and national images of the map
can be downloaded and printed in a variety of sizes and resolutions.
This is the link, so you can put in your zip code and see an enlarged picture of your state map. http://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/PHZMWeb/
