The USDA Zone info is a great tool for gardeners to help us figure out your gardening schedule. 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 determining when it's possible to plant bacopa is to consult the USDA zone info for Greenville.

Planting Calendar for Bacopa

Frost tolerance for bacopa:	Tolerant of a very small amount of frost.
When to plant:	Up to 3 weeks before last frost.

Since bacopa are barely cold tolerant you can plant them slightly earlier in the year than other plants that might not handle the cold.

The earliest that you can plant bacopa in Greenville is March. However, you really should wait until April if you don't want to take any chances.

The last month that you can plant bacopa and expect a good harvest is probably August. You probably don't want to wait any later than that or else your bacopa may not have a chance to fully mature. If you are starting your bacopa indoors then you might be able to get away with starting them a little bit earlier.

Last Frost Date

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

It's important to remember that the actual date of last frost is not always accurate because it is based on the USDA zone info for Greenville and it will vary from year to year. Since half of the time in Greenville last frost occurs after March 15 be ready to protect your bacopa if you have one of those late frosts.
