Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to estimate your garden schedule. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

A way of determining when to plant steirodiscus is to check out the USDA zone info for Nevada.

Planting Calendar for Steirodiscus

Frost tolerance for steirodiscus:	Tolerant of a very small amount of frost.
When to plant:	Up to 3 weeks before last frost.

You can plant steirodiscus just a tiny bit earlier in the year because they are barely cold tolerant.

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

The last month that you can plant steirodiscus and expect a good harvest is probably August. If you wait any later than that and your steirodiscus may not have a chance to fully mature. If you are starting your steirodiscus indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a little bit earlier.

Last Frost Date
