Hardiness Zone 8 False Spring

Hardiness Zone 8 False Spring: Understanding and Preparing for Unpredictable Weather Hardiness Zone 8, defined by the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, encompasses regions that experience average annual minimum temperatures between 10°F (-12°C) and 20°F (-7°C). These areas typically have mild winters and relatively long growing seasons, making them suitable for a wide range of plants. However, gardeners in Zone 8 may encounter a phenomenon known as a "false spring," which can disrupt the normal growth and blooming patterns of plants.
