	Cold Hardy Plants has been growing and breeding plants which are considered "unusual" or "not growable" in Rhode Island, USA (USDA zone 6) since 1991. Our philosophy is to experiment with these "unusual" plants to determine what trait inhibits the growth in the Northeast climate of the USA. Some plants are marginal subtropicals, while others are native to drier areas which don't experience wet winters. Our goal is to breed these "unusual" plants for traits which will enable the plant to grow in the Northeast USA climate by natural selection. We offer unusual and exotic plants for the "Northern" gardener. We sell plants to support our research on hardiness testing in our zone 6 garden located in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. We are a small family business and strive to please our customers.
