The Triangle region of North Carolina falls primarily in USDA Hardiness Zones 7b and 8a. Zone 7b has average annual minimum temperatures of 5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit, while Zone 8a ranges from 10 to 15 degrees. All of the plants in our catalog are selected for proven performance in these zones.
Do you provide plant care guides?
Yes. We offer plant care guides for many of the varieties we install, available on our website at homeandgardenlandscapes.com/plant-care-guides. These guides cover watering, fertilization, pruning, and seasonal care specific to North Carolina growing conditions.
Can you really grow palm trees in North Carolina?
Yes! Several palm species are cold hardy enough to thrive in North Carolina’s climate zones (7b and 8a). We specialize in cold hardy palm installation and maintain our own palm growing operation. Species such as Windmill Palm (Trachycarpus fortunei) and Needle Palm (Rhapidophyllum hystrix) can withstand Triangle-area winters. Our Cold Hardy Palm Oasis project gallery showcases successful palm installations throughout the region.
What types of plants do you offer?
We maintain a catalog of over 80 plant varieties organized into several categories: shade trees, ornamental and flowering trees (including crape myrtles, Southern magnolias, camellias, and dogwoods), hollies, coniferous evergreens (including Green Giants, Cryptomeria, cedars, spruce, Emerald Green arborvitae, and Eastern white pine), Japanese maples, cold hardy palms, and mature bamboo. Visit our Plant Catalog for detailed descriptions of every variety we carry.
