One of the first steps you take when you are estimating your gardening schedule is find your 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.

In Spring Hill you can estimate when it's a good idea to plant cerastium by looking at the USDA zone info.

When to plant:	Up to 5 weeks before last frost.

Cerastium are moderately cold tolerant which tells us that you can start planting them earlier than plants that are more sensitive to the cold.

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