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.

In Sanger you can estimate when it's a good idea to plant dichondra by reviewing the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Dichondra

Frost tolerance for dichondra:	Tolerant of a very small amount of frost.
When to plant:	Up to 3 weeks before last frost.

Dichondra are barely cold tolerant which tells us that you can get them planted just a bit earlier than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant dichondra in Sanger 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 dichondra and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your dichondra may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your dichondra indoors is a great way to get them started a little bit earlier.
