One of the first steps you take when you are figuring out your gardening schedule is find your USDA Zone info. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

The first chance to plant fanflower in Brazil should be estimated by reviewing the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Fanflower

Frost tolerance for fanflower:	Not tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	After the last frost.

You can not plant fanflower 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 fanflower in Brazil 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 fanflower and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your fanflower may not have a chance to really do well. You can get started a little bit earlier by starting your fanflower indoors.

Last Frost Date

Remember that USDA zone info for Brazil is an average and the actual date of last frost is different every year. Half of the time in Brazil it frosts late in the year after April 15 so always be ready to protect your fanflower in the event of a late frost.
