The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

The first chance to plant artemesia in Woodland can be estimated by reviewing the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Artemesia

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

Since artemesia are barely cold tolerant you can plant them just a tiny bit earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant artemesia in Woodland 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 artemesia and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your artemesia may not have a chance to grow to maturity. You can get started a couple of weeks earlier by starting your artemesia indoors.

Last Frost Date

On average the last frost when the weather gets warmer is on February 15 in Woodland. In the coldest months of winter you can expect an average low temperature of 25°F.

Since the USDA zone info for Woodland is just an average the actual date of last frost can change quite a bit from year to year. Half of the time in Woodland you get a frost after February 15 so always be ready to protect your artemesia in the event of one of those late frosts.
