Hardiness Zones & Microclimates: Choosing What Truly Thrives

🧭 Gardening with Confidence Across Zones, Microclimates, and Seasons

Hardiness zones are only the beginning. The USDA map tells us the coldest temperatures we might face, but it doesn’t reveal how microclimates, late frosts, or scorching summers shape real gardens. At Palora, we design palettes with both science and lived experience — offering confidence where rare specimens can thrive, and wisdom for stretching gracefully beyond the map.
