Unfortunately, I have become an expert at what does NOT work. Chances are, you may be an expert too. Until I had an encounter with this mean, hateful fungus I had no idea it was so difficult to get rid of! So hereâs what happened.
If I look at the hardiness Zone map it looks like I'am in zone 7 (light green)on the farmers almanac map. But when I type in my zipcode for farmers almanac it says I am zone 5. Which in my mind is a big difference so How am I to know which zone to go by.
Following are a few examples of great subtropicals and how to take care of them during the winter. Japanese ginger, Zingiber mioga (shown at left), is reliably hardy in USDA Hardiness Zone 7 and has been reported to overwinter as far north as USDA Hardiness Zone 5. It is grown primarily as a foliage plant since its yellow flowersâwhich bloom well into late summerâappear near the base of the plant.
