Zone 9: All Plants (USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 9)

This collection includes every plant in our catalog that can be grown outdoors in USDA Zone 9 — perennials, shrubs, trees, annuals, herbs, and more. Zone 9’s minimal frost and extended warm season allow many plants to grow year-round, including tender varieties that behave as long-lived perennials in this climate.

Use filters to narrow by plant type, size, sun exposure, or bloom color to find what works best in your garden.

Not all of them. While many plants in USDA Zone 9 remain evergreen or continue growing through mild winters, this collection also includes seasonal growers such as annuals and tender varieties that are not intended to persist year-round.

Hardiness information is listed on each product page so you can distinguish between long-term plantings and seasonal additions.

Begin with your goals—shade, screening, flowering display, edible crops, or low-maintenance coverage. In USDA Zone 9, extended warm periods and higher heat exposure make it especially important to consider sun tolerance, irrigation needs, and long-term canopy size.

Use filters to narrow by plant type, mature height, and light conditions so each selection performs well in your specific setting.

In USDA Zone 9, planting is typically most successful during fall, winter, and early spring when temperatures are cooler and soil moisture is more consistent. Establishing plants before peak summer heat reduces stress and supports stronger root development.

Tender annuals and warm-season crops can be planted after any local frost risk has passed.

Zone collections filter plants by USDA hardiness compatibility, showing what can grow outdoors in Zone 9 across all plant types. This is especially helpful in warm climates where heat tolerance and seasonal rainfall patterns influence plant performance.

Plant-type collections—like Trees, Perennials, or Shrubs—organize by growth form instead. Choose the path that fits whether you’re starting with climate conditions or a specific design goal.

Landscapes in USDA Zone 9 often blend long-lived structural plants with seasonal color that rotates through the extended warm season. Including annuals and tender selections reflects real planting patterns in warm climates where bloom cycles can be refreshed multiple times per year.

This provides a fuller picture of what performs in your climate—not only what persists year-round.
