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.

A common way of determining when it's possible to plant crassula is to refer to the USDA zone info for Atlanta.

Since crassula do not do well in cold weather you need to wait until after the last frost has passed before you can plant them.

The last month that you can plant crassula and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your crassula may not have a chance to really do well. You can get started a couple of weeks earlier by starting your crassula indoors.
