Zone 10 is characterized by average annual minimum winter temperatures ranging from 30 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit (-1 to 4 degrees Celsius). This range establishes a warm climate that can support a wide variety of plants, including many tropical and subtropical perennials, annuals, vegetables, and shrubs that thrive in warmer temperature conditions. The zone typically experiences mild winters and hot summers, allowing for a year-round gardening calendar with a continuous planting cycle.
Zone 10, like other zones on the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map, is subdivided into two half zones: 10a and 10b. These half zones represent a finer temperature gradient, with each half zone differing by about 5 degrees Fahrenheit. This distinction allows for more precise gardening and planting strategies, as 10a and 10b indicate slightly different average minimum winter temperatures, thereby catering to the needs of plants that may require specific warm weather conditions for optimal growth.
Zone 10a falls within (30 to 35 °F/-1 to 1.7 °C) and Zone 10b falls within (35 to 40 °F/1.7 to 4.4 °C)
