USDA Hardiness Zone 10B covers parts of South Florida including Fort Myers, West Palm Beach, and Homestead, Hawaii, and the warmest coastal pockets of Southern California, with average annual minimum temperatures between 35°F and 40°F. The growing season extends to approximately 364 frost-free days (the table lists Jan 1 to Dec 31). Zone 10B sees a freeze in fewer than 1 year in 10 and is treated as frost-free. Zone 10B gardeners can grow vegetables year-round, though the peak production window for most crops is the cooler October-through-April season. Summer plantings require heat-tolerant cultivars and consistent irrigation. To find your USDA zone by zip code, use our free planting calendar.
