Keeping this in consideration, what is the difference between zone 8a and 8b?
Zone 8b means that the average minimum winter temperature is 15 to 20 °F. Zone 8a has an average minimum winter temperature of 10-15 °F. When you purchase a plant that is described as “hardy to zone 8”, it means that the plant can withstand a range of minimum temperatures (zone 8a and 8b) from 10 °F to 20 °F .
In this way, what shrubs grow in zone 8a? Some common zone 8 flowering shrubs to choose include:
- Abelia.
- Serviceberry.
- American Beautyberry.
- Camellia.
- Deutzia.
- Forsythia.
- Oakleaf Hydrangea.
- Mountain Laurel.
Beside above, what is the difference between Zone 8 and Zone 9?
As cited in the description of Zone 8, the biggest readily apparent difference between Zones 8 and 9 is that Zone 9, a thermal belt, is a safer climate for citrus than Zone 8, which contains cold-air basins.
