Providence's Hardiness Zone
Our records indicate the United States Department of Agriculture has given Providence a growing zone designation of 7a. Sometimes also called the planting zone or hardiness zone, this zone number gives you an idea of what plants can and cannot grow in Providence's climate. If you are looking for plants suitable for growing in the Providence area, head on over to our page on plants that grow well in Providence, RI.

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 Providence is in growing zone 7a this means that plants there can survive temperatures as low as 10 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Plants for Providence'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.
