Plant Hardiness Guide

The term hardiness is used to indicate that a plant is able to withstand an average winter with very little or no damage to the plant. Some plants, especially those from northern latitudes, should be perfectly hardy, but if induced into growth during mild spring periods, then they may possibly be damaged by late frosts. Other plants may only be hardy if they have had sufficient sun during the summer to ripen their growth. The former plants should not be planted in frost pockets or sheltered positions, and the latter should receive as much sun as possible during the year. Plants not fully hardy may often be accommodated if planted in positions such as against a wall, or amongst, or under other trees and shrubs. Small gardens, particularly in built-up areas may often provide much more warmth and shelter than a larger, or more exposed garden.
