What exactly does it mean when a plant is said to be hardy to zero?
Hardiness ratings usually refer to flower buds. A plant said to be hardy to 0 F would be expected to flower after a low temperature of 0 F. The plant itself will likely survive a colder temperature. It should be noted that the roots are more sensitive to the cold than the top growth, so plants grown in containers need to be protected in the winter.
