Before planting it is a good idea to find your USDA Zone info to figure out your garden schedule. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

It's a good idea to estimate when it's possible to plant statice by using the USDA zone info for Eden.

Planting Calendar for Statice

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

You can plant statice a bit earlier in the year because they do well in moderate cold.

The earliest that you can plant statice 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 statice and expect a good harvest is probably September. Any later than that and your statice may not have a chance to fully mature. If you are starting your statice indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a couple of weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

The average date of last frost is April 15 in Eden. In the coldest months of winter you should expect an average low temperature of 5°F.

Just be sure to remember that USDA zone info for Eden is just an average and the actual date of last frost is different every year. Half of the time in Eden it frosts late in the year after April 15 so just be sure to be ready to protect your statice if you have one of those late frosts.
