You can determine when it's possible to plant achillea in Berea by using the USDA zone info.

Planting Calendar for Achillea

When to plant:	Up to 7 weeks before last frost.

Achillea tend to make it in quite a bit of cold which means that you can plant them much earlier in the year than more sensitive plants.

The earliest that you can plant achillea in Berea 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 achillea and expect a good harvest is probably September. Any later than that and your achillea may not have a chance to really do well. Starting your achillea indoors is a great way to get them started a few weeks earlier.

Last Frost Date

In Berea the average date of last frost happens on April 15. It might get as low as -10°F during the coldest months of winter.
