Rolke Tips for Plant Success

The USDA states, “The 2012 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location. The map is based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree F zones.” Want to know more about this subject, click to watch this helpful video on YouTube.
