My garden is in Cedar Hill, Texas which according to plantmaps.com is USDA Hardiness Zone 8a and is part of Ecoregion 32a - Northern Blackland Prairie. That being said, I have tried to plant things that I have read on other sites to be perfect for this area that I couldn't keep alive if my life depended on it and that I don't see abundantly throughout the area. I have also planted some things which shouldn't do well here, according to comments online about that particular plants best or most favorable zones, which have really taken off and been some of my favorites. So while noting a plant's zone(s) is usually a good starting place, they aren't necessarily binding; and you shouldn't be afraid to try something you love even if you're a few zones away.
