Can anyone tell what zone 10 means, in gardening terms.?

Question

I want to grow a Brunelsia pauciflora but would like to know more about the conditions needed. Thank you.

Answer 1

The Brunfelsia pauciflora originates in Brazil and Peru. This means that they flourish in a tropical climate.They can stand a temperature of 50 degrees F in the winter and survive at
41 degrees F for short periods.They like a moist atmosphere and being well watered in the summer but must be shaded from hot sun.In the winter they should be kept fairly dry. In Zone 10 the winter temperatures can go to 22 degrees F with the lowest recorded temperatur around 6 degrees F.
The zones 13, 15-17and 20-24 are suitable for Brunfelsias.

Answer 2

The plant you are talking about is actually spelled Brunfelsia Pauciflora. Zone 10 describes the climate that is most suitable for growing the plant. You can find a map of the American Zones at the following address:
www.floridata.com
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and type in Zones then search. Make sure you have selected www.floridata.com for your search not the web. It should then come up with a colour coded map of America's zones.

Hope this helps you out.
