One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us estimate your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Shorewood you can estimate when it's possible to plant evolvulus by referring to the USDA zone info.

It's probably a bad idea to plant evolvulus until after the last frost when the weather gets warmer because they do not do well in cold weather.

The earliest that you can plant evolvulus in Shorewood 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 evolvulus and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your evolvulus may not have a chance to grow to maturity. If you are starting your evolvulus indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a little bit earlier.
