Perennial Vegetables for Zone 5

Look up your USDA hardiness zone here to start. These maps show the USDA plant hardiness system, which rates ares based on their average minimum temperature in the winter. You can use your zone to determine what perennials are likely to survive winter in your garden.

Our perennial vegetable varieties are organized here according to what winter temperature they are supposed to survive. Note that hardiness zones are approximate, and there may be microclimates that are warmer or cooler, and variances due to climate change. 

Please let us know if you find a plant does or doesn't do well in your zone so we can add to the knowledge base about these varieties! 

Note there are other varieties that we carry that won't be listed here- for example annuals that mature in your growing window, or self-seeders that may reseed themselves for next year.
