When to start your plants for outdoor growing?
Canada has its own system for defining plant hardiness zones, which helps gardeners and farmers determine which plants are most likely to thrive in their region based on climate conditions. The Canadian Plant Hardiness Zones range from 0 to 9, with 0 being the coldest and 9 being the warmest. Here's a brief overview:
Canadian Plant Hardiness Zones:
-
Zone 0: Very cold regions with short growing seasons (e.g., parts of Yukon, Northwest Territories)
-
Zone 1: Cold regions with short growing seasons (e.g., parts of Northern Quebec, Labrador)
-
Zone 2: Cold regions with somewhat longer growing seasons (e.g., parts of Alberta, Manitoba)
-
Zone 3: Cold to cool regions with moderate growing seasons (e.g., parts of British Columbia, Ontario)
-
Zone 4: Cool regions with longer growing seasons (e.g., parts of Southern Quebec, Southern Ontario)
-
Zone 5: Mild regions with moderate growing seasons (e.g., parts of Nova Scotia, Southern British Columbia)
-
Zone 6: Mild to warm regions with long growing seasons (e.g., parts of Southern British Columbia, Southern Ontario)
-
Zone 7: Warm regions with long growing seasons (e.g., parts of Vancouver Island, Southern Ontario)
-
Zone 8: Very warm regions with long growing seasons (e.g., parts of Vancouver Island, Southern British Columbia)
-
Zone 9: The warmest regions with very long growing seasons (rare in Canada, only in very specific areas)
These zones are determined based on factors such as minimum winter temperatures, length of the frost-free period, and other climate data.
If you're planning to garden in a specific part of Canada, it's important to know your local hardiness zone to choose plants that will thrive in your climate. 🌱❄️
