Zone 8: All Plants (USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 8)

This collection includes every plant in our catalog that can be grown outdoors in USDA Zone 8 — perennials, shrubs, trees, annuals, herbs, and more. Zone 8 offers a long growing season with mild winters and occasional frost, allowing a broad range of landscape plants and seasonal selections to perform reliably in home gardens.

Use filters to narrow by plant type, size, sun exposure, or bloom color to find what fits your space.

Not all of them. This collection includes fully hardy plants that reliably overwinter in USDA Zone 8, as well as seasonal growers such as annuals and certain herbs that thrive during the active growing season but are not expected to survive winter frost.

Each product page includes hardiness details so you can see which plants return year after year and which are planted fresh each season.

Start with your goals—whether that’s shade, privacy, seasonal color, edible harvests, or low-maintenance structure. In USDA Zone 8, moderate winters and a long growing season allow a wide range of plant types to establish reliably when matched to proper sun exposure and soil conditions.

Use filters to refine by plant type, mature size, and light requirements to build a balanced, climate-appropriate landscape.

In USDA Zone 8, planting is often most successful during the cooler months of fall and early spring when soil remains workable but temperatures are moderate. Fall planting allows roots to establish before summer heat, while early spring planting supports steady growth before peak temperatures arrive.

Annuals and tender plants should be installed after the final frost date in your area.

Zone collections organize plants by USDA hardiness compatibility, showing everything that can grow outdoors in Zone 8 regardless of plant type. This allows you to shop confidently by climate first, especially in areas with light winter frost.

Plant-type collections—such as Trees, Perennials, or Shrubs—group plants by growth habit instead. Both approaches are useful depending on whether you’re planning by climate or by design category.

Gardens in USDA Zone 8 typically combine hardy perennials and shrubs with seasonal color that changes throughout the year. Including annuals and other seasonal selections reflects how landscapes are actually planted—balancing long-term structure with refreshed bloom and foliage interest.

This approach highlights not only what survives winter frost, but what performs beautifully during the active growing season.
