Successful Cultivation of plants outside ones hardiness zone * 1
    #27637978 - 01/29/22 09:17 PM (1 year, 11 months ago)

For anyone who works within the plant hardiness zones ranging from 4a to 6b: What plants have you successfully grown that normally would not be hardy enough for your zone?

I left potatoes in the ground in West Virginia. Try pickled Jerusalem artichokes, boiling them in vinegar brings out their sweetness.

I’ve grown Turmeric & Galangal for a few years by bringing them inside overwinter (testing whether they can survive outdoors with a massive layer of mulch this year). Other members of the ginger family are theoretical possibilities, but common Ginger seems to be the least hardy, and always rots (IME at least).

At least one person has successfully kept Chayote squash - a perennial vine with edible fruits, shoots, & roots native to Mexico - alive with this method and I’m also giving that a go.

I’m in the lower end of the range, but if you have a greenhouse or a south facing stone/brick wall to plant next to it should work for sure.

I live in a zone 7, but I have several passionfruit varieties that are outside this zone and I can over-winter them by covering them in leaves. The vines die back during winter but new shoots emerge the next year as long as the roots and base are protected.

Leaves seem to generate a lot of heat when they decompose, so I think it prevents the ground from freezing and keeps them snug. There's a few videos on youtube on how to get free heat from leaves in winter for your greenhouse.
