Useful websites for hardiness information?

Post by dukeofdoom » Sat Dec 29, 2012 6:10 pm

Just wanted to share a website that I just found. Very useful for finding plants by type/hardiness.
For example you can search for all bamboo variates that will be hardy in zone 6b.
Or all vines with red flowers hardy in zone 7 and so on.

http://plantlust.com/

I'm not affiliated with them in any way...just wanted to share because it seems useful.

Anyone use anything else to discover new plants.

Good suggestion, still gotta check that one out.

I use and contribute to davesgarden.com on a regular basis, photos and comments and have successfully traded many times with other daves garden members.
To search a plant, I google search the plant name followed by "dave's" and it almmost always comes up as the first result,
e.g. helianthus tuberosus dave's .

You can do this an unlimited number of times each day. Info not always perfectly correct. I do like the general info and I like to read comments about plants before I get too interested in a new plant investment.

Nice suggestion, I've also used that site before. For the most part, they have more accurate ratings than others.
