Variety Recommendations
Pick your hardiness zone and crop to see which varieties reliably ripen where you garden, then rate the ones you have grown.

How the lists are built
Variety recommendations are compiled from university extension services and seed catalog trial data. Hardiness zone placement is derived from those same regional sources. Every entry that has a source links to it so you can read the original trial or guide.
Curated for your zone
Recommendations are listed for hardiness zones 5 through 10, so you can skip varieties that will not have time to ripen before your frost.
Ratings come from neighbors
Anyone on SproutLoop can rate a variety after growing it in their own garden. Averages are grouped by zone and crop, so the score you see reflects the closest match to your conditions.
Use it while you shop
Add a variety name to any listing so buyers know exactly which cultivar you grew, and link neighbors back to your seeds.
