If the Zone of your selections says Zone 2 it means this seed will flourish in Zone 2 and up. Not just that one zone. A hardiness zone is a geographically defined area in which a specific category of plant life is capable of growing, as defined by climatic conditions, including its ability to withstand the minimum temperatures of the zone (see the scale on the right or the table below). For example, a plant that is described as "hardy to zone 10" means that the plant can withstand a minimum temperature of minus 1. A more resilient plant that is "hardy to zone 9" can tolerate a minimum temperature of minus 7. First developed for the United States by the Department of Agriculture (USDA), the use of the zones has been adopted by other nations including Canada, and Europe.
