What's blooming in my zone this week?

Pick your USDA hardiness zone. We pull from the OutdoorPlantCare plant database (36 species + counting) and show what's actively flowering or peak-foliage in your zone for the current month, with links to full care guides. Updated automatically as the plant database grows.

How bloom timing works by zone

Bloom time shifts about 2 weeks per USDA zone. A peony that blooms in early May in zone 7 (Long Island) blooms in late May in zone 5 (upstate NY) and mid-April in zone 8 (coastal Carolina). Per Penn State Extension, the standard rule for spring bulbs is that one zone equals roughly 14 days of bloom shift, with elevation and microclimate adding to the delay.

This tool starts from broad bloom seasons (spring, summer, fall) in each plant's database entry, then maps to calendar months based on your zone:

  • Spring bloomers in zone 3 → May/June; zone 5 → April/May; zone 7 → March/April/May; zone 9 → February/March
  • Summer bloomers in zone 3 → July/August; zone 5 → June/July/August; zone 7 → May/June/July/August; zone 9 → April-October
  • Fall bloomers in zone 3 → August/September; zone 5 → August/September/October; zone 7 → September/October; zone 9 → October/November
