One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us determine your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. The most important data that the zone info tells us is average last frost and the lowest expected temperature for your area.

One way of getting a good idea when it's possible to plant lantana is to refer to the USDA zone info for Hoboken.

Planting Calendar for Lantana

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

It's probably a bad idea to plant lantana until after the last frost has passed because they require warm weather.

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