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.

One way of determining when it's possible to plant iberis is to consult the USDA zone info for Miami.

Planting Calendar for Iberis

Frost tolerance for iberis:	Tolerant of some frost.
When to plant:	Up to 5 weeks before last frost.

Since iberis are one of those plants that can tolerate a little bit of cold weather you can plant them just a bit earlier in the year than other frost tender plants.

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

Last Frost Date

In Miami it never frosts. In the coldest months of winter you can expect an average low temperature of 40°F.

Since the USDA zone info for Miami may not be accurate from year to year the actual date of last frost will vary from year to year. Since it never frosts in Miami you do not have to be ready to protect your iberis if you have a surprise late frost.
