Plant Hardiness Zones in Colorado
Areas in Colorado 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 Colorado. Colorado is known for its cold, dry climate. Colorado has a diverse array of landscapes, including mountains, plateaus, and deserts. The time in which you should plant your seeds or transplant them outside depends on what planting zone in Colorado you live in. We recommend growing peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, and beans here.
