Nearly all of Iowa is in USDA growing zones 4B and 5. Even with this relative consistency, there are still local variations in rainfall, sun levels, soil quality and pests that can affect what plants will thrive. Each variety you click on has a Plant Highlight Facts section with the flora’s requirements in these areas and many more. We also provide a Plant Care Library of important information about planting techniques and maintenance. Whether you want to plant the official Bur Oak state tree or some Purpleleaf Sand Cherry privacy bushes, Nature Hills Nursery can guide you through the entire process.
