The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

A way of figuring out when it's possible to plant nemesia is to use the USDA zone info for Laconia.

Since nemesia require warm weather you really should wait until after the last frost when the weather gets warmer before you can plant them.

The earliest that you can plant nemesia in Laconia 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 nemesia and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your nemesia may not have a chance to fully mature. Starting your nemesia indoors is a great way to get them started a couple of weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

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

Just be sure to remember that the actual date of last frost is not always accurate because it is based on the USDA zone info for Laconia and it will vary from year to year. Since half of the time in Laconia last frost occurs after April 15 be ready to cover your nemesia if you have one of those late frosts.
