Bonnie, the Florida panhandle would be zone 9.  Many things that you can grow 
in Tennessee will not grow there, most especially lilacs, peonies and tulips. 
 Some of these I had never even seen until I grew up and moved "up north" to 
North Carolina.
I had to learn to garden all over again when I moved to New York - it's a 
different world in more ways than one.
