Hardiness Zone
    #19005466 - 10/20/13 07:23 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

Hey I was reading a post and someone was talking about growing azures and he said that he was in Hardiness Zone 5 I believe so I was looking for a map that states what Hardiness Zone I was in but the only ones I have found just use different shades of color. Does anyone know how I can tell what zone I'm in before I try to grow azures?

It has nothing to do with climate zone, which is really only based on the lowest winter temperature.  I'm in zone 2 and they grow here quite well, but take a few years to get established.

For azures/cyanescens to work you need a long, damp, cool fall.  If your climate has drought during summer until the cold weather hits, azures won't grow. If your fall is a long rainy season with temps a few degrees above freezing, they will.

Well I don't live in the mountains like you RR.:wink: I'm kinda in the middle of the to climates you gave. Our fall doesn't get that low since I'm around the mid south but our summers are usually pretty wet and our falls are around 40's. Sorry to ask again but I'm still learning just like most others, do you think they will work here.

Unless you have wet cool falls, I doubt they'll work. 40s is fine. In the PNW where they're native it's usually dry from late spring until fall.  Our summers are very dry.  It's after the fall rains and cool temps that they come alive.  I never see them around here until after first frost.

Could you potentially grow them in Minnesota? I would love to start a huge bed out in a park somewhere.

Hey RR when you gonna post some pics of your azure bed I remember you saying you would? Also I found a Hardiness zone map that says that I'm in zone 6 and our falls are sometimes wet and cool although we rarely get snow even through winter but sometimes warm and a bit dryer but I believe I'm gonna try it next year anyways just to see how it works out.

Spaceman, I can tell you around Memphis and the midsouth, you won't have any luck with an azure bed

Mostly the lack of a fall. Especially a wet one
