Native Plants for Zone 2

USDA Zone 2 is a winter-cold rating based on the average coldest temperature of the year: -50 to -40°F for the full zone. It is a starting point for perennial survival, not a measure of summer heat, humidity, rainfall, frost timing, or chill hours.

This page combines plants marked native in the FFN catalog with winter hardiness for Zone 2. Hardiness and native range answer different questions: a plant can tolerate your winter without being native to your county or ecoregion. Confirm regional native status as well as sun, soil, moisture, and mature size.

Use the sidebar to combine hardiness with native status, heat zone, sun, soil, mature size, and wildlife-related traits. If you have saved a ZIP code, the Plant Finder marks the climate choices that match your location.
