Hardiness Zones: the importance of hardiness zones

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture for gardeners, there are certain hardiness zones that help to find which plant is able to grow best in which location. The zone helps the gardener determine when is the best time to get seeds or seedlings and pot them in the soil so that they grow quickly while meeting all nutrients. You need to provide the plant temperature and humidity according to the hardiness zone in which you live. The zones are used to measure the coldest temperature which ranges from 1 to 13 which is from coldest to hottest. When we talk about the U.S. the majority part of it lies from zone 3 to zone 9. After knowing the plant hardiness zone you get the help of how cold your area will get and which plant planting will be safe to be planted in that zone.
