One of the first steps you take when you are figuring out your gardening schedule is find your USDA Zone info. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

You can determine when it's the best time to plant digitalis in Miami by using the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Digitalis

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

Digitalis are one of those plants that can tolerate a little bit of cold weather which means that you can get them planted earlier than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant digitalis in Miami 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 digitalis and expect a good harvest is probably November. Any later than that and your digitalis may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your digitalis indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.
