Zone 6 -10 to 0 degrees F (-23 to -18 degrees C)
In Zone 6, the average low temperature in winter ranges from -10 to 0 degrees F. It ranges throughout the Northern Hemisphere, making a wide U-shaped curve through the USA from New York City on the east, down through the Midwest and Southwest, and up to Washington and parts of British Columbia. Off the northeastern coast of North America, the warming effects of the Gulf Stream place unlikely areas such as parts of Newfoundland in zone. Also in this zone’s northern tier are areas of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Findland.
Zone cuts a path through much of central and eastern Europe, from Germany to Greece and northern Croatia; moving into Asia via the Caspian Sea, and narrowing into a small swathe through Afghanistan and into China. Its sole presence in the Southern Hemisphere is two small regions in Argentina.
Topographically, Zone 6 covers many landscapes: coastal regions, flood plains, and even some high desert, and the vegetation varies accordingly. Among plants that will grow in wet coastal areas, along riversides and marshes, are giant reed plants and cat tail. The dry sandy Pine Barrens of New jersey, USA, support plants that need fire to survive, such as scrub pine, northern pitch pine, bearberry and sweet pepper bush.
Lowland mountain ranges, such as the Blue Ridge Mountains of USA, and some of the mountains in Europe give rise to dogwoods: among them, the green osier, the native American flowering dogwood, the European and western Asian Cornelian cherry, and the giant dogwood.
The plains and prairies of Zone 6 are home to plants that not only survive winter cold, but also often heat and drought (but flooding some years) over summer. These plants include the coneflowers and sunflowers. The genius Shasta and ox-eye daisies, straddles Zone 6, growing in grasslands, rocky meadows, and wastelands of Europe and temperate Asia.
