Virginia Beach Planting Zones
Virginia Beach has 2 USDA Hardiness Zones: 8a and 8b, as per the 2023 update.
Zone 8a
Zone 8a covers inland neighborhoods like Avalon Hills, Charlestowne East, Landstown Meadows, and Level Green. These areas experience cooler winters due to their distance from the Atlantic Ocean’s warming influence, making them ideal for plants that tolerate mild frost, such as Thimbleweed (Anemone virginiana) and Crossvine (Bignonia capreolata).
Heat-loving vegetables like Corn (Zea mays) and Tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) thrive here, alongside drought-resistant ornamental plants like Coneflower (Echinacea purpurea) and Aster (Symphyotrichum spp.).
Zone 8b
Zone 8b includes coastal regions like Oceanfront, Red Mill, Thalia, and Chicks Beach. The ocean moderates winter temperatures here, allowing for a longer growing season and a wider variety of heat-loving plants like Okra (Abelmoschus esculent) and Peppers (Capsicum annuum).
Drought-resistant ornamentals such as Yellow Jessamine (Gelsemium sempervirens) and Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia hirta) flourish in this zone.
