1. which part of Pennsylvania? There are several zones in most states.
2. You're probably in zones 2 - 8, but check out this map to be sure: http://www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/hzm-ne1.html
3. I think you are zone 3b, but you can google it, USDA growing zones
4. You probably Zone 5-6 http://www.dovecreekgardens.com/page.asp?id=5
5. My seed book shows your in zone 6. you can check for youself at www.jungseed.com
6. go to http://michiganbulb.com/Default.asp? on the left of the screen there's a box that is labeled Plant Digger at the very bottom of the box it says "Find your grow zone". Then they want you to type in your zip code.
7. I am a PA gardener myself, with quite a bit of experience in Montgomery County. If you're gardening in eastern PA I would advise you to subtract one from the hardiness map if you want to ensure your plants will survive. I tend to be a rather conservative gardener, so I do not push the limits on hardiness, but I have noticed many Zone 6 plants in Montgomery County (And that's Zone 6b) that are routinely in a damaged or dying state. Your plant (Zone 3-8) should be fine in most areas of PA. I pasted a link below that has a detailed PA map with hardiness zones. Good Luck!
