Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to determine your garden schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Spring Hill you can estimate when to plant cerastium by using the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Cerastium

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

Cerastium do well in moderate cold which tells us that you can plant them a little bit earlier than other frost tender plants.

The earliest that you can plant cerastium in Spring Hill 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 cerastium and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your cerastium may not have a chance to grow to maturity. You can get started a few weeks earlier by starting your cerastium indoors.

Last Frost Date

In Spring Hill the average date of last frost happens on April 15. It might get as low as -10°F during the coldest months of winter.

Since the USDA zone info for Spring Hill is not always accurate the actual date of last frost changes from year to year. Since half of the time in Spring Hill there is a last frost after April 15 be ready to cover your cerastium if you have one of those late frosts.
