One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us estimate 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 Graham you can estimate when it's possible to plant sutera by referring to the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Sutera

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

You can plant sutera a bit earlier in the year because they are barely cold tolerant.

The earliest that you can plant sutera in Graham is March. However, you really should wait until April if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant sutera and expect a good harvest is probably August. Any later than that and your sutera may not have a chance to really do well. Starting your sutera indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

In Graham the average date of last frost happens on April 15. In the coldest months of winter you should expect an average low temperature of 5°F.

Since the USDA zone info for Graham may not be accurate from year to year the actual date of last frost can change quite a bit from year to year. Half of the time in Graham last frost occurs after April 15 so make sure that you are ready to protect your sutera in the event of a surprise late frost.
