In Lakewood you can estimate when it's the best time to plant evolvulus by reviewing the USDA zone info.

Since evolvulus are not cold tolerant you really should wait until after the last frost before you can plant them.

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. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your evolvulus indoors.
