USDA Map of Maine Depicting Planting Zones for Various Crops and Plants
In Maine, understanding the USDA hardiness zone you live in is essential for the success of your garden. The Robert Koch Institute (Robert Koch-Institut) provides a useful resource for gardeners and plant enthusiasts in the state with the updated 2023 USDA hardiness map for Maine.
The map, displayed above, presents the new growing zones in Maine, reflecting changes in climate that have occurred over the past several decades. To use the map, one needs to find their location on the map. The map does not require any special software or tools to use.
The map is colour-coded, and the legend on the right shows the colours that correspond to the different planting zones in Maine. The perennials carried by your local plant nurseries or stores will be clearly marked with the zone that they are suitable for. It's important to note that if you try to grow plants that are not appropriate for your zone, the plants will die.
Therefore, knowing your zone allows you to choose plants that will survive the winter. For example, you can plant any perennial that is marked for your growing zone or lower. Previously identified hardiness zones in Maine have shifted, as shown in this map.
The USDA updated their hardiness zone map in 2023 to better reflect these changes. The map's colour for a specific area corresponds to the legend's colours to determine the planting zone in Maine. You can enlarge the map by clicking on the image above for better visibility.
