One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us determine your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. 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 lunaria in Homestead can be determined by using the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Lunaria

When to plant:	Up to 5 weeks before last frost.

Lunaria are moderately cold tolerant which tells us that you can plant them a little bit earlier than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant lunaria in Homestead is January. However, you really should wait until February if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant lunaria and expect a good harvest is probably October. Any later than that and your lunaria may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your lunaria indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

Keep in mind that USDA zone info for Homestead is just an average and the actual date of last frost changes from year to year. Half of the time in Homestead last frost occurs after January 31 so make sure that you are prepared to protect your lunaria in the event of a surprise late frost.
