6A

USDA Zone 6A

Average annual minimum temperature: -23°C to -21°C (-10°F to -5°F)

This is one of the most common gardening zones across the continental US, the UK, and much of Europe, supporting a huge range of perennials, shrubs, and trees. Winters are cold enough for proper dormancy — which many fruit trees and spring bulbs actually need — but mild enough to grow a wide variety of ornamentals without major protection.
