One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

In Eden you can estimate when it's possible to plant sedum by using the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Sedum

Frost tolerance for sedum:	Very tolerant of frost.
When to plant:	Up to 7 weeks before last frost.

You can plant sedum a lot earlier in the year because they are one of those plants that can tolerate quite a bit of cold weather.

The earliest that you can plant sedum in Eden 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 sedum and expect a good harvest is probably September. Any later than that and your sedum may not have a chance to grow to maturity. Starting your sedum indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

On average the last frost has passed is on April 15 in Eden. It might get as low as 5°F during the coldest months of winter.

It's important to remember that the actual date of last frost is not always accurate because it is based on the USDA zone info for Eden and it is different every year. Half of the time in Eden you get surprised by a frost after April 15 so just be sure to be ready to protect your sedum in the event of one of those late frosts.
