The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map has recently been updated. This map is the standard by which gardeners and growers can determine which plants are most likely to thrive at a location. Louisiana comprises five zones: 8b, 9a, 9b, 10a, 10b. These zones represent average annual extreme minimum temperatures.

To find the Plant Hardiness Zone at your location quickly, enter your zip code in the Quick Zip Code Search box in the map above, or click anywhere on the map to view the corresponding interactive map.
