Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to estimate your garden schedule. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

The best time to plant dichondra in Woodland can be determined by referring to 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 do well in mild cold which means that you can plant them a bit earlier in the year than plants that are more sensitive to the cold.

The earliest that you can plant dichondra 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 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 grow to maturity. If you are starting your dichondra indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a couple of weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

In Woodland the average date of last frost happens on February 15. In the coldest months of winter you should expect an average low temperature of 25°F.

Remember that USDA zone info for Woodland is not always accurate and the actual date of last frost is different every year. Half of the time in Woodland it frosts late in the year after February 15 so make sure that you are prepared to cover your dichondra in the event of a surprise late frost.
