The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us determine your gardening schedule. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Hugo you can determine when you can plant dichondra by referring to the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Dichondra

Frost tolerance for dichondra:	Tolerant of a very small amount of frost.
When to plant:	Up to 3 weeks before last frost.

Dichondra are barely cold tolerant which means that you can start planting them slightly earlier than plants that are more sensitive to the cold.

The earliest that you can plant dichondra in Hugo 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 dichondra and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your dichondra may not have a chance to really do well. If you are starting your dichondra indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a couple of weeks earlier.
