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.

A way of figuring out when it's possible to plant heuchera is to examine the USDA zone info for Winder.

Planting Calendar for Heuchera

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

Since heuchera do well in moderate cold you can plant them a little bit earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

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

The last month that you can plant heuchera and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your heuchera may not have a chance to fully mature. If you are starting your heuchera indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a little bit earlier.

Last Frost Date

The average date of last frost is April 15 in Winder. It might get as low as 5°F during the coldest months of winter.

Since the USDA zone info for Winder is just an average the actual date of last frost can change quite a bit from year to year. Half of the time in Winder there is a last frost after April 15 so make sure that you are ready to cover your heuchera if you have one of those late frosts.
