Zone 5: All Plants (USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5)

This collection brings together plants that can be grown outdoors in USDA Zone 5, based on overall climate suitability rather than plant type alone.

It reflects how gardeners in Zone 5 typically plant, combining long-lived landscape plants with seasonal selections that thrive during the active growing months.

Not all plants included here are intended to remain in the ground year-round.

Some selections are grown seasonally and planted after frost risk has passed, while others are fully hardy and form the permanent structure of the landscape.

Plants in this collection are grouped by climate compatibility rather than growth habit or design role.

This approach allows gardeners to explore a broad range of options that make sense for Zone 5 conditions before narrowing choices by use or appearance.

Plant performance can vary within Zone 5 depending on factors such as soil quality, sun exposure, moisture, and planting location.

While zone suitability helps guide selection, local conditions still play an important role in long-term success.

This collection supports a wide range of garden styles, from foundation plantings and perennial beds to mixed landscapes and seasonal displays.

It is intended to reflect the diversity of plants commonly grown outdoors in Zone 5 across residential and small-scale garden settings.

Zone-based collections are designed to group plants by climate suitability rather than by specific plant category.

Tree, shrub, and perennial collections remain the best place to explore plants by growth habit, size, and design role.
