Tropical plants are most competitive in the tropical zone and warmer parts of the subtropical zones. These plants generally cannot survive winters, and so are restricted to their homelands. Subtropical plants can tolerate some very light frost, but cannot tolerate any kind of "hard" frost. They survive in the subtropical zones, and in some areas in the tropical zone. Plants that can survive hard frosts or freezes are called Hardy Plants.
Plants that are sold commercially are rated according to a hardiness zone system devised by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture).
