Green roofs are a sustainable garden trend that's here to stay. Not only do they provide a new dimension to planting schemes, they're also a beautiful solution to greening up urban spaces. And, they host a number of environmental benefits.
However, you might be put off having a green roof if you live in a colder hardiness zone (generally speaking zone 6 and below). This is especially the case when the best plants for a green roof are better suited to warmer climes, coping with intense sun exposure and high temperatures. But, there are actually plenty of cold hardy plants for a green roof that can make this a sustainable garden feature in the colder regions.
