USDA Zone Compatibility in Lakewood Ranch
Lakewood Ranch is in USDA Hardiness Zone 9b, and bird of paradise plants require a minimum of Zone 9b. Bird of Paradise Plants can grow in Lakewood Ranch, but you're at the edge of their comfort zone. We recommend planting in a sheltered spot and providing frost protection during rare cold events.
Growing Bird of Paradise Plants in Lakewood Ranch
Lakewood Ranch is USDA Zone 9b, and its position several miles inland from the Gulf means winter nights run cooler than Sarasota or Bradenton proper. Frost on open lawns and lakefront lots is a real possibility a few times each winter, so we favor Queen, Sylvester, Mule and Pindo palms and hardy hedges like Podocarpus and Viburnum. Salt is not a factor here, which opens up Magnolia, Crape Myrtle and other flowering trees.
