The extreme southern part of NS is USDA zone 7 and the other coastal areas (excluding Northumberland shore, which is colder) are zone 6. Sable Island and some of the other islands might be zone 8, but only a handful of people live in those locations.
Another factor in coastal NS is the high precipitation and high humidity (i.e. 1500 mm of rain and fog 120 days a year), and mild summer temperatures. Some plants like that and others don't. Rhododendrons for example are ubiquitous and do very well in NS.
