The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us determine your gardening schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

A way of figuring out when you can plant celosia is to refer to the USDA zone info for Winder.

Planting Calendar for Celosia

Frost tolerance for celosia:	Not tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	After the last frost when the weather gets warmer.

It's not a good idea to plant celosia until after the last frost has passed because they do not do well in cold weather.

The earliest that you can plant celosia in Winder is April. However, you really should wait until May if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant celosia and expect a good harvest is probably August. Any later than that and your celosia may not have a chance to really do well. You can get started a couple of weeks earlier by starting your celosia indoors.

Last Frost Date

Just be sure to remember that USDA zone info for Winder is not always accurate and the actual date of last frost changes from year to year. Since half of the time in Winder last frost occurs after April 15 be ready to cover your celosia in the event of one of those late frosts.
