Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to estimate your garden schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

One way of determining when to plant sedum is to examine the USDA zone info for Enterprise.

Planting Calendar for Sedum

Frost tolerance for sedum:	Very tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	Up to 7 weeks before last frost.

You can plant sedum quite a bit earlier in the year because they are one of those plants that can tolerate quite a bit of cold weather.

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

The last month that you can plant sedum and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your sedum may not have a chance to grow to maturity. If you are starting your sedum indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a couple of weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

In Enterprise the average date of last frost happens on March 15. It might get as low as 15°F during the coldest months of winter.

Since the USDA zone info for Enterprise is not always accurate the actual date of last frost will vary from year to year. Half of the time in Enterprise you get a frost after March 15 so make sure that you are prepared to protect your sedum if you have a surprise late frost.
