The U.S. Department of Agriculture recognizes four distinct planting or hardiness zones in Florida. These zones are a general guideline for people living the area as to what plants should flourish given the average climate and conditions. On a scale from 1 to 11, Florida ranges from 8a to 11. Even if a plant matches a hardiness zone, consider outside factors such as rainfall, humidity and heat when planting.
