One of the first steps you take when you are figuring out your gardening schedule is find your USDA Zone info. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

It's a good idea to figure out when it's the best time to plant stevia by referring to the USDA zone info for Anaheim.

Planting Calendar for Stevia

Frost tolerance for stevia:	Not tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	After the last frost.

You really shouldn't plant stevia until after the last frost has passed because they require warm weather.

The earliest that you can plant stevia in Anaheim 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 stevia and expect a good harvest is probably September. Any later than that and your stevia may not have a chance to grow to maturity. You can get started a few weeks earlier by starting your stevia indoors.

Last Frost Date

It's important to remember that USDA zone info for Anaheim is just an average and the actual date of last frost is different every year. Half of the time in Anaheim you get a frost after January 31 so make sure that you are ready to cover your stevia in the event of one of those late frosts.
