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 Farmville you can figure out when to plant hamelia by using the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Hamelia

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

It's probably not a good idea to plant hamelia until after the last frost when the weather gets warmer because they require warm weather.

The earliest that you can plant hamelia in Farmville 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 hamelia and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your hamelia may not have a chance to grow to maturity. If you are starting your hamelia indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a few weeks earlier.

In Farmville the average date of last frost happens on March 15. In the coldest months of winter you should expect an average low temperature of 10°F.

Half of the time in Farmville you get surprised by a frost after March 15 so just be sure to be ready to protect your hamelia if you have a surprise late frost.
