Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to determine 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 chrysocephalum is to examine the USDA zone info for Winter Park.

The last month that you can plant chrysocephalum and expect a good harvest is probably September. Any later than that and your chrysocephalum may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your chrysocephalum indoors is a great way to get them started a little bit earlier.
