The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us estimate your gardening schedule. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Eagle you can estimate when it's the best time to plant nemesia by looking at the USDA zone info.

The last month that you can plant nemesia and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your nemesia may not have a chance to really do well. If you are starting your nemesia indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a couple of weeks earlier.
