One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us determine your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. 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 you can plant hamelia is to look at the USDA zone info for Maywood.

It's probably a bad idea to plant hamelia 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 hamelia in Maywood 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 hamelia and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your hamelia may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your hamelia indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.
