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.

In Spring Lake you can determine when it's possible to plant iberis by checking out the USDA zone info.

Iberis can survive in some cold which tells us that you can plant them a little earlier in the year than other plants that might not handle the cold.

The earliest that you can plant iberis in Spring Lake 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 iberis and expect a good harvest is probably September. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your iberis may not have a chance to really do well. Starting your iberis indoors is a great way to get them started a little bit earlier.

Last Frost Date

The average date of last frost is March 15 in Spring Lake. It might get as low as 10°F during the coldest months of winter.

Half of the time in Spring Lake there is a last frost after March 15 so always be ready to protect your iberis in the event of a surprise late frost.
