Post #4094954

can someone explain to me the zone thing with regards to
'hardiness'? i guess what i am trying to figure out is how low
is the temperature a plant will be able to take?? and/or
can i look at a plants description under plant files to see how
low of a temp they can take? but then i have a question about
if my zone isn't there? ie...should i just take the highest temp
on the guide as the one that my plant will freeze at?

for example look at this:

[HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com]

my zone 7 is not on there...yet i own the plant; am i reading it right by
saying that my ginger cant take temps lower than 40 or it could die?
or is it 20 degrees...i am so confused:)
