Gardening in the zone can be a challenge. The intense winter cold, often high summer heat, and periodic drought produce stressful conditions for plants.
However, winters in the northern reaches of the region generally have consistent snow cover that makes gardening with herbaceous plants easier than for more southern neighbors in Zone 5. Consistent winter snows protect plants from the worst of the cold, so perennial and vegetable gardeners are happy, especially in areas wehre it is moister and the soil is richer. On the down side, the growing season is shorter, on average 160 to 180 days. The number of woody ornamental species, especially flowering trees and shrubs, is dramatically less than that available in warmer zones. But what must be given up in woody species, can often be gained in herbaceous plants. Many plants thrive in the cooler conditions, especially cooler night temperatures, and in the reduced humidity. Insect and disease problems are fewer than in warmer zones. Lilacs, viburnums, crabapples, iris, daylilies, and hostas are just a few of the plants that are popular in Zone 4.
