NEW 2023 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map
KY USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map
NEW! November 2023
USDA has issued a new Plant Hardiness Zone Map reflecting the latest 30 year period of data. Our old Kentucky home is mostly now in Zone 7. The prior map issued a decade ago had most of Kentucky in Zone 6 except for parts of western Kentucky.
This PHZM has never been fool-proof but it's the best tool we have to determine what plants will be able to survive in certain locations.
