People think because they move to Florida that it is always warm. Florida is a big state with many different temperature zones and two different time zones. It's over 500 miles from Jacksonville to Key West and over 800 miles from Pensacola to Key West.
Central Fl where The Villages is located is much cooler in the winter than say the Tampa area, which is only 100 miles south, because it is further north plus it is not close to the water. Plants that grow well there do not flourish in Sumter County.
