Zone 7 Herbs for Outdoor and Indoor Settings
We offer a variety of plants and perennial herbs for Zone 7 locations. These herbs are delivered to your doorstep when it’s time to plant them and can survive these regions' mild winters and warm summers. These are some of the best-selling Zone 7 herbs in our collection. Choose them for their aesthetic, medicinal, or culinary features.
French Tarragon: This herb survives best in moderate to mildly cold winters, so they can just about survive in your Zone 7 location. Known as the aristocrat of fresh herbs, its spicy anise flavor goes excellent in sauces, soups, vegetables, and meats. Best kept under full sun and well-drained soil.
Bergamot: Also known as bee balm or wild oregano, this aromatic herb is native to North America’s fields and swamps. Steep its leaves for a spicy tea that tastes like mint and oregano, or add it to carbs and salads as a substitute for regular oregano. Add it to your garden as a natural pesticide for subterranean pests.
Italian Parsley: This herb had a bad rap in the past because of its long germination process. Today, it’s a popular culinary herb best associated with Italian cuisine. When harvested at its best, Italian parsley has a more potent peppery flavor than curly-leaf parsley.
Roman Chamomile: Plant your Roman chamomile plant in your garden, and this perennial low-growing herb can spread around the surrounding area. Its apple-scented aroma is excellent for aromatics, oils, or teas. It’s great for getting you in the mood to sleep and for pain relief, inflammation, skin irritation, and post-pregnancy healing.
Munstead Lavender: Lavender plants are best kept outdoors or in homes with good air circulation. When properly cared for, your plant produces aromatic flowers that are irresistible to pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Their flowers are great in salads and refreshingly cold summer drinks, or add them to homemade potpourri.
Rosemary Arp: A popular herb in our collection, the Rosemary Arp is a cold hardy perennial that survives in Zones 6 to 10 year-round. Sprinkle its leaves onto meats and other dishes or create skewers using its stems to infuse even more flavor. Its lemony pine scent and flavors are a must-have for any culinary herb garden.
Chives: Another popular addition to your herb garden is chives. They have a mild onion flavor – perfect for dishes that need the savory and earthy flavors of onion without it getting too overpowering. Chives are best used fresh, so place them on a kitchen window and water them daily.
What Is Zone 7?
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) established the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map. This map helps farmers, gardeners, landscapers, and anyone interested in growing their herbs and other plants select species that can survive within their local climate.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map features 13 growing zones. Each zone is divided according to the location’s average minimum winter temperature. These zones are ranked from the coldest (Zone 1) to the warmest (Zone 13), each with a 10-degree range. Since this is determined by climate and topography, one US State can have multiple zones. This is why 28 states have Zone 7 areas.
During the winter, Zone 7 locations have a minimum average temperature of 0°F to 10°F (-17.7°C to -12.2°C). This can be further divided into two subsets: Zone 7a, with temperatures ranging from 0°F to 5°F (-17.7°C to -15°C); and Zone 7b, with temperatures ranging from 5°F to 10°F (-15°C to -12.2°C).
