USDA Hardiness Planting Zones

To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.

  • If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will survive the winter temperatures in your area.
  • If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

Exclusive to High Country Gardens. Gardening in a landscape with heavy winds requires tough, durable plants. That doesn’t mean you have to compromise on beauty! These four perennials are some of our favorite plants for waterwise gardens, tried and true in many gardens across the country. Generous flowers will feed pollinators and sway cheerfully in the breeze. The attractive texture of Silky Thread Grass will shine with glints of gold to accent the colorful flowers. This collection is perfect for garden beds, borders, and lining walkways for curb appeal. It can also be planted among an established garden to enhance your existing perennials. To fill a larger garden area, simply repeat this collection as many times as needed.

Our Blowin' In The Wind Collection includes 4 plants, and covers approximately 14 sq ft if planted together:

For best results, we recommend planting with Yum Yum Mix and Root Stimulator Combo Pack.

Plants are subject to change due to availability. If we make substitutions, we feature plants with similar attributes suitable to the collection design. No planting map included.

Planting and Caring for Pre-Planned Gardens & Collections

Soil Preparation: Remember that proper soil preparation is the key to healthy, vigorous blooming perennials. Use Yum Yum Mix and a high quality compost at recommended rates to prepare the soil. Inoculate the plant roots with Plant Success mycorrhizal inoculant. Planting: Plant according to the mature size of the plant. Don’t be tempted to put the plants too close based on their size in the pots. They’ll need the space to grow and fill in the expected area.

Fertilizing: Once annually in mid-fall, after plants begin to go dormant. Use Yum Yum Mix or Yum Yum Mix Winterizer at recommended rates to improve the soil and provide essential plant nutrients.Use it with high quality compost, mix half and half by volume and spread on top of the soil. Scratch it in lightly and water thoroughly. It is also beneficial to treat the plant roots with Plant Success® mycorrhizal root inoculant if you didn’t do so at planting time. (Inoculation only needs to be done once.)

Mulching: In arid climates mulching is very beneficial. Coarse textured composts, shredded leaves, pine needles and composted bark are all excellent mulch materials. Apply to a depth of 1-2 inches. Replenish annually (or as needed).
