USDA's Growing Zone Map for North Dakota - Distinct Planting Zones in North Dakota Identified
North Dakota gardeners are in for a treat as the new 2023 planting map divides the state into two major zones and three subzones, emphasising the importance of choosing plants that can survive the winter in the growing region.
The plant hardiness map, a tool developed by the USDA since 1960, divides the country into zones based on average extreme winter low temperatures. North Dakota, known for its cool climate, is divided into zones 3b and 4a in the northern part and 4b in the remainder of the state.
This means that gardeners in North Dakota need to be particularly cautious of what shrubs, trees, and perennial flowers they plant. Choosing native species is best when planting based on the North Dakota plant map. Local greenhouses and ornamental plant dealers in North Dakota, such as Dakota Gardens in Fargo, Amlaw Greenhouses in Grand Forks, and Prairie Roots Nursery in Bismarck, carry native species that are suitable for the growing region.
It is important to carefully follow the planting and care instructions to ensure a healthy garden. Subscribing to "our platform", a service that delivers gardening tips, videos, information, and more to subscribers' inboxes, grants access to a free e-book titled "How to Grow Delicious Tomatoes".
