ZONE 8

Located along the coast of the Pacific Northwest through parts of California, the Southwest and the American South, Zone 8 boasts a long growing season from April to December, with hot summers and an annual average minimum temperature of 15ºF. The temperate climate (it’s one of the warmer regions in the country) makes for nearly perfect veggie growing conditions, along with a multitude of flower and tree varieties to augment your garden.

Unfortunately, the same wonderful growing conditions that promote a healthy garden also encourage all manner of weeds to thrive, too. Luckily, keeping them in check is entirely possible with our Weed Control tools and herbicides. While you’re digging in, make sure you protect yourself from the sun, mud, and any spiky, sticky plants themselves with our Gardening Clothes & Footwear.

States in Zone 8: Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina

SPRING

Since spring in Zone 8 is relatively warm and the threat of frost should pass by the beginning of April, it’s an ideal season to plant all manner of veggies outdoors for a summer harvest. The warmer soil also makes it the right time to get many perennial flowers, herbs, and trees going.

SUMMER

FALL
