Plant Hardiness Zones in Alabama

Areas in Alabama  Where Plants Are Most Likely to Thrive

Not all plants thrive under the same temperature and climate conditions. Therefore, it is important to know your state’s climate zone so you know what plants you can successfully grow there. Most gardeners use the USDA Hardiness Zone Map to determine what plants thrive in a specific location. The map is based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree F zones. Below is the growing zone for Alabama. Alabama has a humid subtropical climate. It should come as no surprise that summers here are extremely hot while winters are mild. The time in which you should plant your seeds or transplant them outside depends on what planting zone in Alabama  you live in. We recommend growing cabbage, squash, beans, and peppers here.
