Even though west Texas and eastern Georgia are in the same 2006 ADF cold hardiness zone of 8, they have very different macroclimates when you consider all the other weather factors. Every landscape has small climatic differences.
Knowing your 2012 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone is a useful tool when selecting plants for your garden. The zones are based on an area's average annual minimum winter temperature. Use the link above to find out your zone. Then, when you are shopping for plants you should check the zone listed on the plant's tag or label to see if it is suited to your zone. Planting a perennial, shrub or tree whose hardiness zone is Zone 9 in an area that is in Zone 5 means that the plant is likely to freeze and die in winter.
