What is the Plant Hardiness Zones Map?

The map outlines the different zones in Canada where various types of trees, shrubs and flowers will most likely survive. It is based on the average climatic conditions of each area. The map is divided into nine major zones: the harshest is 0 and the mildest is 8.

For Northern areas missing from these maps, please visit Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada's Plant Hardiness Zones of Canada Map.

For hardiness zone maps of the United States, see the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map on the USDA website.

Superbells® Yellow ChiffonCalibrachoa hybrid

Superbells® DreamsicleCalibrachoa hybrid

Woo-hoo! There is nothing more super than Superbells. Calibrachoas are a new type of plants that sort of look like little Petunias. Superbells aren’t sticky, perk right back up after it rains, and stay compact and bushy even when stressed. Superbells are Proven Winners’ newest Calibrachoas. They're covered with hundreds of flowers from early spring to the first light frosts. Just 6 - 10 inches tall, long trailing branches cascade over the sides of hanging baskets and other containers, and spread over flower beds.

Vigor, heat tolerance and resistance to disease.Annual except in zones 9 - 11. No deadhead old flowers or pinch back stems. Water only when the top of the soil feels dry. Too much water makes roots rot. Full sun. Fertilize once a month. How extra double super easy is that?

UsesCalibrachoa do not like to have constantly damp soil. They will do well in the ground only with good drainage. For most gardeners containers are the best use for Calibrachoa.

Coleus Growing TipsMany people feel that coleus look best before they flower. To keep foliage in top shape, pinch off the blooms as they appear if you wish.

Rules of Thumb for Overwintering Plants Indoors:

1. Choose only healthy plants

2. Bring Plants indoors before frost damages foliage

3. Treat for disease and insects before bringing plants indoors

4. Place in bright areas and add humidity using pebble trays or spray bottles

5. Be careful not to over water

6 When active growth starts in spring fertilize and prune as needed

7. Introduce your plants slowly to outdoor conditions in spring

Prairie Blue Little Bluestem

Andropogon scoparius ‘Prairie Blue’

This grass cultivar has a great, upright form with greyish blue, narrow blades. It takes on an orange hue in the fall which compliments the fluffy, silvery seedheads. Excellent for dry and eroded sites.


Foerster's Feather Reed Grass

Calamagrostis acutiflora ‘Karl Foerster’

This is fast becoming a staple item in the Prairie landscape. Bright green blades give way to thick tan seedheads on sturdy and long-lasting stems. Provides interest all winter long.

Avalanche Feather Reed Grass

Calamagrostis acutiflora ‘Avalanche’

A great new variegated form of feather reed grass with similar habit to the well known Karl Foerster. The leaves are green with a bright white margin. Feathery seed heads form in late summer and persist through fall and winter for excellent late season appeal.
