Potential lowland snow chances this week may be good timing for students on midwinter break, but not so much for local vegetation which is already springing forward.
Master gardener Ciscoe Morris says protecting your plants from forecasted frigid temperatures is as simple as reading the tag.
“Many people don’t even read the tags or know what zone the plants are for,” said Morris.
Most plant tags have basic care instructions and specifically reference the “zone” the plant is most suited for. The zones listed on the plant tag refer to the USDA Hardiness Zone that measures the lowest temp a plant can survive.

Wonderful 👏
Ciscoe always makes me think of my mother who lived in Mukilteo and passed in May of 2008. She had been president of the Mukilteo Garden society a couple of times and Ciscoe had been to her home for garden party meetings a couple of times… What a kind person he is and I am so glad that he is till ,out here helping others with their plants. My mother had a great garden and she loved to hear peoples thoughts about her work…
🙌
glad to see him still gardening!!
My favorite low-maintenance plants to grow are dandelions, moss, and ferns.
Ciscoe needs his own YouTube channel ❤
