It's a bad idea to plant evolvulus until after the last frost when the weather gets warmer because they do not do well in cold weather.

The earliest that you can plant evolvulus in Garden Grove 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 evolvulus and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your evolvulus may not have a chance to really do well. If you are starting your evolvulus indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a few weeks earlier.
