Before you plant
Local conditions still matter
Rankings use ZIP-based hardiness, light, soil, water, and goal fit. Microclimates, drainage, soil pH, heat, chill hours, and local invasive lists can change the final answer.
Privacy basics
Saved plans stay in this browser and store zone, conditions, and plant IDs. ZIP codes are used for lookup and are not saved in local plan storage.
Source links
Direct affiliate listings are labeled before you click. Supplier search links are separate from rankings, and native flags are not yet a county-level native-range database.
