Zone 4 Gets Insanely Cold
This area is one of the colder U.S.D.A. hardiness areas. It encompasses parts of many of the Northernmost U.S. states and portions of some Northwestern states.
Winter temperatures in this area can get downright frigid, but it's still far from the coldest U.S.D.A. zone (that title goes to Area 1). The winter lows are around -30 to -20 degrees Fahrenheit.;
The first frost in the area usually happens in late September or early October, with the last frost around late April to early May. This makes for a relatively brief growing season compared to most other areas in the U.S. But short growing seasons don't mean you're short on options at TN Nursery. We stock the best selection for your area and are ready to ship your plants to your location right away.
Our Recommendations For Zone 4
When you live in a colder area, you need to work with what nature gives you and maybe get a little creative. Not to worry: We carry plants, shrubs, bulbs, mosses, and trees that we choose specifically for their strength in this area.
We recommend ultra-hardy outdoor plants, shrubs, and trees that can flourish in the warm months and hibernate successfully until next year. Some popular picks for perennials in the area include vibrantly blue Virginia bluebells, bright pink Creeping Phlox, and heart-shaped Hosta. We also offer perennial assortment packages, like our mix of 15 flowering perennials (chosen for your area). Packages can give you a profusion of colorful flowers, which return year after year.
Do you wish your area had a more extended growing season? Plant and shrub blankets may help your precious plants live longer.
Or, consider building a greenhouse or exploring the world of indoor plant cultivation. It's a great chance to grow many of the same beautiful plants you enjoy outdoors, but you can control the climate yourself.
