A landscape architect friend taught me this 20 years ago and inspired me to plant my favorite things from the south of France; Lavender, thyme, rosemary, dianthus, eryngos, a mimosa tree.
They recently discovered a new species of fig tree indigenous to the PNW, called an Olympian Fig. Planning for it in a future sunnier yard!
Really? That's so cool. I LOVE fig trees. I have one in my front yard that I planted after I discovered how well they do in Seattle. I will check out the Olympian Fig. Maybe Swanson's has them.... Thank you for these knowledge tidbits. :)
So cool how Seattle and some sections of the coast to the south have this special, productive climate zone. It’s also interesting to note that the western third of the country has such a mix of climate zones, while the east is dominated by just three climate zones.
I didn't realize the east only has three. But, now that you mention it, I'm not really surprised. The American West is so much more diverse in a lot of ways.
