Hardiness On Delmarva

According to the latest USDA hardiness map (see detail at left) Delmarva ranges from the following temperatures based on the average of low temperature readings taken from regional weather stations.

There are many versions of the hardiness map. The USDA is currently working on an updated version to come out sometime in 2010. When choosing plants use the zone you are in and watch for freeze warnings:

Our average last spring freeze happens between April 1st and April 15th.

Our average first autumn freeze happens between November 1st and November 15th.

Visit the Arbor Day Foundation for information about changes to hardiness zones.
