Florida Zone 9b Complete Planting Calendar
Month-by-month planting guidance for Central Florida vegetables, herbs, and fruits with variety recommendations that work in heat and humidity.
Zone-specific gardening guides
Right Plant. Right Zone. Every Time.
Zone-specific gardening guides built from real growing experience — not generic advice that doesn't apply to your climate. We started in Florida and we're expanding zone by zone across all 50 states.
Why it matters
Planting calendars that tell you to “plant after last frost” are useless in Florida, where our best growing season is October through March — the exact opposite of most of the country.
A tomato variety that thrives in Ohio may struggle in Tampa. Blueberries sold at big box stores may not survive a Florida summer. The Planting Zone was built to fix that.
