Im planting a flower garden. On the planting instructions it says "Zone 3 - 8". What zone is PA?

I am a PA gardener myself, with quite a bit of experience in Montgomery County. If you're gardening in eastern PA I would advise you to subtract one from the hardiness map if you want to ensure your plants will survive. I tend to be a rather conservative gardener, so I do not push the limits on hardiness, but I have noticed many Zone 6 plants in Montgomery County (And that's Zone 6b) that are routinely in a damaged or dying state.



Your plant (Zone 3-8) should be fine in most areas of PA.



I pasted a link below that has a detailed PA map with hardiness zones.



Good Luck!

You're probably in zones 2 - 8, but check out this map to be sure:

Reply:go to http://michiganbulb.com/Default.asp? on the left of the screen there's a box that is labeled Plant Digger at the very bottom of the box it says "Find your grow zone". Then they want you to type in your zip code.
Reply:which part of Pennsylvania? There are several zones in most states.

Reply:I think you are zone 3b, but you can google it, USDA growing zones
