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.

Sutera can survive in some cold which means that you can plant them slightly earlier in the year than other frost tender plants.

The earliest that you can plant sutera in Jamestown 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 sutera and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your sutera may not have a chance to really do well. You can get started a few weeks earlier by starting your sutera indoors.

In Jamestown the average date of last frost happens on May 15. In the coldest months of winter you can expect an average low temperature of -30°F.
