Announcing the AHS plant heat-zone map
Article Abstract:
The American Horticultural Society (AHS) has developed a map to show the average number of days a region in the US experiences temperatures above 85 degrees Fahrenheit. Used in conjunction with the US Dept of Agriculture Hardiness Zone Map, which shows the average lowest temperatures of a region, the AHS Plant Heat-Zone Map can help gardeners determine which plants will prosper in their area. The Heat-Zone Map allows gardeners to determine how well a plant will do during the summer months.
