One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Holland you can estimate when to plant celosia by reviewing the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Celosia

Frost tolerance for celosia:	Not tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	After the last frost has passed.

You can not plant celosia until after the last frost because they require warm weather.

The earliest that you can plant celosia in Holland is April. However, you really should wait until May if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant celosia and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your celosia may not have a chance to grow to maturity. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your celosia indoors.

Last Frost Date

On average the last frost is on April 15 in Holland. It might get as low as -5°F during the coldest months of winter.

Since the USDA zone info for Holland is not always accurate the actual date of last frost can change quite a bit from year to year. Half of the time in Holland you get a frost after April 15 so make sure that you are prepared to protect your celosia in the event of a surprise late frost.
