Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to estimate your garden schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Cape Coral you can estimate when it's possible to plant thunbergia by checking out the USDA zone info.
