Newton's Hardiness Zone

Our records indicate the United States Department of Agriculture has given Newton a growing zone designation of 6b. Sometimes also called the planting zone or hardiness zone, this zone number gives you an idea of what plants can and cannot grow in Newton's climate. If you are looking for plants suitable for growing in the Newton area, head on over to our page on plants that grow well in Newton, MA.

The growing zone is a measure of the lowest temperature that a plant can survive based on average lowest year temperatures, helping you to decide what plants would grow best in your particular climate. Since Newton is in growing zone 6b this means that plants there can survive temperatures as low as 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Plants for Newton's climate should be chosen with this in mind, or plants should be moved inside to keep their core temperature in the right range if necessary.
