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 Danville you can determine when it's possible to plant nemesia by looking at the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Nemesia

Frost tolerance for nemesia:	Not tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	After all chance of frost has passed.

It's probably a bad idea to plant nemesia until after all chance of frost has passed because they do not do well in cold weather.

The earliest that you can plant nemesia in Danville 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 nemesia and expect a good harvest is probably August. Any later than that and your nemesia may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your nemesia indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.
