In ZIP 98208 in Everett, Washington (WA), zone 8b with lows 15 to 20 F, flowering color lasts longer into fall. Crape myrtles and magnolias thrive there. For your cart, that means Richmond buyers focus on earlier bloomers like redbuds and dogwoods that flower before summer heat sets in.

The contrasts show how your zone in Richmond gives you a solid middle ground: cold enough for apples and maples, warm enough for many ornamentals.
