One of the best tools that you have as gardeners to help us determine your gardening schedule is the USDA zone info. The zone info helps tell us things like average date of last frost and lowest expected temperature for your area.

The USDA zone info for Savannah should be looked at to figure out when you can plant nemesia.

Planting Calendar for Nemesia

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

Since nemesia require warm weather it is necessary to wait until after the last frost when the weather gets warmer before you can plant them.

The earliest that you can plant nemesia in Savannah 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. Any later than that and your nemesia may not have a chance to grow to maturity. Starting your nemesia indoors is a great way to get them started a little bit earlier.
