Anyone know where I might be able to find (online, hopefully) something
like a USDA zone map of the UK?

Not that it will give any real indication of a plant's ability to grow
well, but here is a link to the estimated zoning for the UK. It
ranges from 7 in the north through to 9B in the south west. Zoning
doesn't work for maritime climates like ours since plant hardiness is
determined by many other factors including duration of cold, summer
heat, light levels and rainfall. Ultimate cold hardiness is just one
part of the equation and a zone 7 plant in the US cannot be relied
upon to thrive in a zone 7 part of the UK.
