ZONE 9

Found in Southern Oregon, much of California, the Southwest, Texas, and Florida, Zone 9 has a long growing season from March to December with an annual minimum temperature of 15ºF. Despite the hot summers, with so much sunlight it’s an ideal climate for growing veggies, flowers, and even exotic fruit trees.

Since temperatures can climb pretty high in the summer make sure to protect your plants by planting them in areas where they’ll get some shade on hot days. If natural shade isn’t an option, try planting vulnerable herbs and veggies under our Easy Net Tunnels to keep them from getting scorched. It’s also critical to keep soil moist; check out our variety of Garden Watering and Irrigation tools to ensure your garden stays hydrated year round.

States in Zone 9: Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, Florida

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.
